After Action Report
In Miami, the Knicks ran roughshod over the Heat 126-85. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Knicks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Heat's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
