After Action Report
The Knicks stunned the Heat 117-116 in overtime. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
