The Miami Heat have shown themselves to be a smarter, more adaptive, more disciplined team during this second-round playoff series. What bothered me most of all, however, was how much fight they showed through the first four games than our New York Knicks. Miami got to every loose ball, grabbed every key rebound, while the guys in orange and blue seemed to treat this series like a pre-season home-and-home.
That certainly wasn’t the case on Wednesday night. With their backs up against the wall, the Knicks finally showed the gumption we’ve seen from them in the regular season.
