However instead of Alonzo Mourning and Patrick Ewing going head to head, It's Carmelo and Lebron taking center stage.
Cutting to the chase, simply, the Knicks had no business winning this game. Miami dominated for 40 of the 48 minutes due to the the horrendously poor shooting of the Knicks. Two surges coming at the end of each half made the difference. The first surge came with the Knicks trailing 51-36 with 3 minutes left till halftime. Miami went scoreless the rest of the way while NY went on a 16-0 run that included a buzzer beater 3 pointer by Bill Walker banked off the glass.
If you went to the bathroom and came back you probably choked on your burger to see the Knicks were actually leading 52-51at halftime.
Miami controlled the 2nd half just like the first one, the Knicks hung in though giving them a punchers chance which indeed would help. Trailing 84-78 the Knicks closed out the game with a 13-2 run, including a monster block by Amare leaving Lebron dumbfounded at his rejected attempt as well as the clutch heroics of Chauncey Billups. Concluding a 91-86 Knick victory over the Heat that will land them in the discussion of NBA's elite teams.
