After Action Report
The Heat squeaked past the Knicks 109-104. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Heat are in a full-on tailspin; the Knicks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss.
What tipped it
- Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
