When you’re on the verge of being eliminated, there’s no time for second-guessing. With the season on the line, the New York Knicks came out with a vengeance and home-court advantage.
In the best-of-seven series of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Miami Heat had three opportunities to eliminate the Knicks after building a 3-1 lead. Sadly, they were unable to close it out on the first attempt, falling 112-103 in Game 5 on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden.
The positive news for the Heat is that they are still the frontrunner in the series.
