Decked out in throwback jerseys, the Heat looked to reignite the 90s rivalry vs New York. The Knicks would go up early with Julius Randle shooting well from deep, but Miami would battle back through good midrange and interior play thanks to Jimmy and newly minted 2nd-time All-Star, Bam Adebayo. Still, despite good hustle (nice charge UD!), Miami scored poorly in the first quarter allowing the Knicks to get up to a double-digit lead. Still, they’d get within six heading into the 2nd thanks to a 7-0 run by Strus and co.
Miami slowed down the Knicks enough to get back within one, and would eventually take back the lead off a HUGE Bam slam.
