Miami Heat beat New York Knicks in Joe Johnson’s debut

The Miami Heat proved themselves the superior foe with an commanding 98-81 vcitory over the crumbling New York Knicks.

Joe Johnson made his Heat debut Sunday night, and even though he’s clearly not the Johnson of old, he showed promising flashes. Johnson collected 9 points, two rebounds and three assists in 24 minutes of play. Most importantly, the aging used-to-be star, hit an early corner three, something this team has desperately needed. The Heat entered Sunday night last in the league in 3PT percentage.

A win over the Knicks can hardly be called impressive, but there were a few promising signs in regards to the Heat’s offensive flow.
