After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks survived the Heat 116-113. The breakneck pace played right into Knicks' hands. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Knicks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.

- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
