MIAMI -- The New York Knicks and their plentiful South Florida fans arrived Sunday at the AmericanAirlines Arena to face the Miami Heat in a playoff-like atmosphere. Hours later, they left satisfied, having earned a 91-86 win while erasing the memory of Friday's embarrassing loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Now, it's the Heat who must answer the critics after failing yet again to close out a tight game against a quality opponent.
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra couldn't have been pleased with his team, and the look on his face after the game spoke volumes. Nevertheless, he expressed hope that his team will learn from these experiences.
"We will have our breakthrough," Spoelstra said. "As painful as this is right now, there will be a time that we'll be able to execute and win a game like this against a quality opponent going down the stretch. What you hope is that the pain of a game like this resonates enough to make a change, and that's what we need to do."
