Part 2/8:
In the Knicks' most recent game against the Miami Heat, they experienced a slow start, trailing 12-0 at the opening of the match after returning from a West Coast trip. Yet, a strong surge led by Minnesota Timberwolves' Karl-Anthony Towns allowed them to bounce back. Following a disappointing run in previous matches, the Knicks displayed resilience, with Towns spearheading a significant 15-1 run, leading to a commanding victory.
Tim Bontemps highlighted that the Heat have struggled significantly since trading superstar Jimmy Butler, noting their horrific fourth-quarter performances throughout the season. The Knicks' ability to capitalize on the Heat's weaknesses and secure an easy win underscored their potential, although discussions about their overall ceiling remain.
