The Heat's balanced scoring and minute distribution helped them get a big lead over the Knicks and keep it.
The Miami Heat got off to a slow start in the first quarter against the New York Knicks. It was their 7th straight home game, and last before leaving for the road, so maybe they were comfortable. They quickly took control of the game at the end of the first quarter after being tied at 19.
Before you knew it, they were up 22 points at halftime and kept a double digit lead for the rest of the game.
