After Action Report
The Knicks buried the Heat 125-101. The breakneck pace played right into Knicks' hands. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
