The New York Knicks (8-6) already dropped a tournament game to the Celtics. And with the Heat (10-5) boasting a perfect 2-0 record in the tournament, a loss would effectively end New York’s chances of taking home the inaugural championship.

Their defensive prowess has been restored, complemented by the scoring proficiency of Tyler Herro, who, though absent from tonight's game, has been the team's consistent leading scorer with 22.9 points per game.

Anthony Edwards has been leading the way, pouring in 26 PPG, shooting 47/39/83.
