After Action Report
The Heat took care of the Knicks 129-118. The Knicks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Heat. Whispers of a Knicks locker-room rift aren't helping. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
