After Action Report
The Knicks snuck past the Heat 107-106. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Knicks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; second-chance points piled up for the Heat. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
