After Action Report

The Heat pulled away from the Knicks 116-101. Heat's scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Heat; the Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
