After Action Report
The Knicks survived the Heat 106-102. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Knicks sent shots into the fifth row all night; the Knicks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
