After Action Report
In New York, the Heat snuck past the Knicks 92-91. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. The Heat came in with something to prove after a loss; Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Knicks locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Knicks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
