After Action Report
The Knicks outlasted the Heat 140-126. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. The Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Heat utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
