Sunday’s big game was close throughout, but in the end it was the team hailing from Florida that took home the victory.
That’s right, the Miami Heat outlasted the Knicks, 109-103, in a Sunday matinee at Madison Square Garden that served as the most important sporting event of the day by far, no questions asked. The loss broke a two-game win streak for New York, and the game was played amid rumors that the franchise is about to flip Dennis Smith Jr. and a 2021 second round draft pick for Derrick Rose.
There’s a lot to consider when it comes to the alleged acquisition of Rose, but the bottom line is this: if the deal goes down as currently reported, it means the Knicks essentially traded Kristaps Porzingis for the youngest MVP in NBA history.
