After Action Report
The Heat handled the Knicks 105-87. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. The Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
