After Action Report

The Knicks demolished the Heat 128-108. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Heat's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
