The Knicks are entering Saturday’s matchup against the Miami Heat riding the longest game-winning streak in the league at five consecutive victories. Only the Oklahoma City Thunder are boasting a similar streak, and no other team in the Eastern Conference has more than three consecutive dubs through Friday.
Winners of eight of their last 10 games and 11 of their last 13 (all played this calendar year), no. 4 New York (28-17) will host no. 7 Miami (24-21) after losing to the Heat in last year’s ECSF but beating them as recently as November in an In-Season Tournament game.
