While the management works for a return of Derrick Rose (there is talk of a package with Dennis Smith and a second choice to get to the Detroit guard), the Knicks (11-14) continue their progress and if they play it until the end against the Heat (9-14), in the final, however, the defense of the reigning vice champions raises the level of concentration and Miami brings home the success. With the points of Randle (26) and Bullock (21) the Knicks play good basketball in the first half, slow down in the third fraction but still cling to the Heat that must give all their energy to get the better of them. Adebayo (24 points and 11 rebounds) makes himself felt in the painted area, Butler gives his usual leadership and Herro from the bench signs important baskets such as the triple at 33 ” from the siren that brings the Florida team back to +7 and in fact sends to the carpet the hosts.
