A game after the New York Knicks had one of their worst defensive performances of the season, they followed it up Wednesday with another rough performance on that end, as they lost to the Miami Heat 127-120 for their second consecutive loss.

Miami shot 57% from both the floor and from three-point range. Entering the game, they were amongst the league’s worst teams in terms of scoring and efficiency.
