The 2022-23 exceeded most pre-season expectations and turned in the best campaign the MSG faithful have seen in a decade. But you know what they say about all good things coming to an end. The Knicks ran into a better team in the Miami Heat, even if the regular season didn’t bear that out. The Heat have a Hall of Fame-level coach, and were the deeper squad. Never was that more apparent than in Game 6, when Miami easily withstood a first-quarter charge and took control of the game.
Man, did things look up in that first quarter when the Knicks jumped out to a 31-17 lead.
