After Action Report
The Heat handled the Knicks 114-99. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Whispers of a Knicks locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 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.
