1: How were the HEAT able to come back for a win in New York?
Couper Moorhead: It was all about their defense. After trailing by as much as 12 in the first half, Miami held the Knicks to just 18 points in the third quarter and, even better, 13 points in the fourth. This current version of the Knicks is lacking in offensive firepower, so once the HEAT locked in and started playing their brand of defense, there just wasn’t anywhere the Knicks could turn to generate an open look of any kind.
