The Knicks will face the Miami Heat in the second round of the NBA playoffs

On Wednesday night, the New York Knicks clinched a first-round series win by defeating the Cleveland Cavalier in Game 5. And it didn’t take long for them to learn who they will be facing in the second round. It’s official: They will take on the Miami Heat, who dispatched of the No. 1 seed Milwaukee Bucks in Game 5 of their own playoff series.

Once again, the Bucks choked late in the game, and Jimmy Butler sent it to overtime with a wild bucket with 0.5 seconds remaining. From there, the Bucks choked a bit more, and that was all she wrote.
