After Action Report
The Heat survived the Knicks 96-95. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. Heat's defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Knicks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
