After Action Report

The Knicks squeaked past the Heat 96-95. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Knicks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; second-chance points piled up for the Heat. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Heat · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Knicks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
