The Knicks and Heat renew their rivalry for the first time this season tonight at Madison Square Garden. This is the first meeting of four between the two as both teams are fighting for a top six spot in the east.
New York is coming off of a tough overtime defeat against the Los Angeles Lakers at The Garden on Tuesday. While the Miami Heat enter MSG after a three point win in Cleveland against the Cavaliers.
This matchup doesn’t need much in order to hype it up, but this year in particular the regular season meetings mean a lot as the current seventh seed in the east takes on the sixth seed in the east.
