After Action Report
The Heat held off the Knicks 103-96. Heat's offense had its way with the Knicks. The Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Heat stayed locked in. Whispers of a Knicks locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Heat · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
