The New York Knicks sweated it but earned a hard-fought 111-105 win against the Miami Heat to even their second-round series. Now it’s at least a five-game affair as the teams move on to South Beach.
It was a ridiculously close game from tip-off to the final buzzer. The Heat led for most of it, but the Knicks knew when and how to proceed on their way to the win.
There were 16 lead changes. There were 13 ties. (There was no Jimmy Butler.) There were two teams. But only the Knicks reigned supreme.
