After Action Report
The Knicks survived the Heat 114-111. The breakneck pace played right into Knicks' hands. The Knicks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Heat carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Heat · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
