After Action Report
The Heat squeaked past the Knicks 101-98. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. The Knicks came in with something to prove after a loss; Knicks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
