After Action Report
In Miami, the Knicks handled the Heat 115-103. The breakneck pace played right into Knicks' hands. The Knicks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
