After Action Report
The Heat squeaked past the Knicks 120-117. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
