After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat fended off the Knicks 121-115. The tempo dragged the Knicks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Knicks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
