NEW YORK -- One of the NBA's stingiest defenses achieved the rare feat of holding star forward Carmelo Anthony scoreless over the final three quarters as the Miami Heat put the clamps on the New York Knicks for the second time in a week with a 97-78 victory on Friday night.
Guard Gerald Green poured in a season-high 25 points, 20 of them in the second half, forward Chris Bosh added 20 points and 5 rebounds, and guard Dwyane Wade had 17 points and 5 rebounds as the Heat (10-5) beat the Knicks (8-9) for the eighth straight time while sending them to their third straight loss.
