After Action Report
The Knicks buried the Heat 109-79. Knicks' scorers couldn't be contained. The Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Knicks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
