Wsup Rady .. Thanks for the Game Thread, we have another must win Game.
Yesterday, the Toronto Raptors season long 8 man rotation put a beating on the the Miami Heats throughout the 48 minute game. The Heats didn't have a chance after tip-off .. The last season ROY SF Barnes scored 22 pts, 7 rbs, and 12 assist for Raptors 106-92 WIN over the Heats.
Tonight, it's our Knicks turn to give the Miami Heats another LOSS this week ..
GO Knicks GO !!!

 

[Kiyaman]

Don't Forget everyone .. A Knicks win tonight, will confirm our status as a 5 Seed Team in the East !!!
It's a BIG GO tonight !!!

Did Mitch grab the rebound and purposely threw it out of bounds .. Naw!
MitchRob just wants to be traded to a team that will put him in the offense scoring

 

[Kiyaman]

Did the Miami Heats just go on a 14-0 run in the first qtr. 14-8 Heats lead

 

[Kiyaman]

End of First Quarter .. Knicks 19 - Heats 23
Randle still playing the entire first quarter for NO reason at all ..
Bam and Butler scored on Randle several times .. Randle 0 pts

 

[Kiyaman]

Oh yeah, in the 1st Qtr. Grimes scored 9 pts on 3-5 from 3's and 5 rbs, 1 ast

 

[Kiyaman]

Heats had a 30-20 point lead and Quickley and IHart chopped it down to a 30-28 Heats lead.

 

[Kiyaman]

Toppin 3 ball, then Toppin lob to IHart got the score tied at 35 pts.
Toppin played 7 minutes

 

[Kiyaman]

Half Time .. Knicks 48 - Heats 46

Bam came down hard on Randle's back sending Randle down hurting his knee.
Randle goes to locker room after taking his 1-2 FT shot making the score 38-37 Knicks ..
Barrett replace Randle .. Twice MitchRob was open on the back-door and no pass came to him.
The Heats go on 3 point shooting contest hitting 3 3's the final 2 min of the qtr.
IHart's defense put a stop to Bam & Butler inside scoring in the first half.

 

[Kiyaman]

End of 3rd Quarter .. TIED at 76 pts
Randle did not play any of the 3rd qtr.
Coach Tom Thibs are pushing Quickley to become first option on offense

 

[Kiyaman]

The Knicks 2nd half without Randle are looking Good tonight ..
Knicks 86 - Heats 84 7 min remain in game

I'm skipping to watch Luka & Kyrie vs Harden & Maxey 3 min remain Mavs 91 - 76ers 89

 

[Kiyaman]

5 min remain .. Knicks 94 - Heats 85
The Grimes & Quickley & Hart & IHart team-defense in the 4th quarter are to much for the Heats

 

[Kiyaman]

Knicks 101 - Heats 92
The Knicks win tonight, have confirm we are a 5 seeded team going into the Playoffs !!!

Quickley's 24 pts
Grimes 23 pts
Hart's 13 pts
Brunson's 12 pts
Barrett's 12 pts
And Hartenstein dynamic winning DEFENSE
All gets the winning TEAM-BALL .... Now go practice on team-ball-movement for the Playoffs !!!
