After Action Report
The Knicks fended off the Heat 112-103. The Knicks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks steamroller is in full effect right now. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
