After Action Report
The Knicks outlasted the Heat 134-125. Knicks' scorers couldn't be contained. Fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
