Everything that could have gone wrong for the New York Knicks went awry on Saturday, as they were trounced by the Miami Heat, losing Game 3 with a score of 105-86. This left them trailing 2-1 in their best-of-seven series.
From the opening minutes, the Knicks stood little chance, and the story of the game for New York was their persistent struggle with shooting the basketball—a recurring issue throughout the postseason.
As if things couldn’t get worse after a 7-34 performance from three-point range in Game 1, the Knicks managed a disastrous 8-40 from downtown on Saturday, appearing consistently lost in shooting for the majority of the postseason.
