Knicks tumble back to earth in deflating blowout to Heat

MIAMI — South Florida is known for its Cuban sandwiches, stone crabs and seafood ceviche, but the Knicks got handed a slice of humble pie Monday night by the Heat.

The Knicks took their talents and four-game winning streak to South Beach and got roasted in a collapse reminiscent of last season with their normally trusty bench leading the stink-fest.

After building an early seven-point lead, the Knicks fell apart when the reserves entered as the Heat staged a murderous 23-2 run starting late in the first quarter and blew the Knicks out of AmericanAirlines Arena, 95-78.
