After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat upended the Knicks 115-105. The breakneck pace played right into Heat's hands. The Heat pushed the pace until the other side broke; Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
