Heat 113, Knicks 91: Big Three Too Much For Knicks

The New York Knicks went toe-to-toe with the Miami Heat for the first 24 minutes Friday night, finishing the first half tied, 57-57. Unfortunately, NBA games are 48 minutes long.

The Knicks had no answers for LeBron James and the Miami Heat in the second half as the Heat pulled away for a 113-91 victory. Miami took control with a 33-17 third quarter, and the Knicks never threatened in the final quarter.

James had a triple-double with 32 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. Chris Bosh answered night-long chants of "Over-rated" with 26 points and Dwayne Wade had 26 points, eight rebounds and five assists for Miami. The Heat (20-8) have won 11 straight, 10 of those by double-digit margins.

Amare Stoudemire had his streak of consecutive games scoring at least 30 points snapped at nine. Stoudemire scored 24 points, but was harassed all night by multiple Miami defenders and made just 11-of-28 shots. Danilo Gallinari had 25 points to lead the Knicks.

The Knicks are now 16-10 after consecutive losses to Eastern Conference powers Boston and Miami.

New York Knicks Vs. Miami Heat: LeBron James Makes First Visit

The New York Knicks must be back. Their most famous fan, Spike Lee, is talking trash in anticipation of tonight's game at Madison Square Garden vs. LeBron James and the Miami Heat.

"We're gonna kick LeBron's ass," Lee confidently predicted to the Daily News during a book-signing in Brooklyn last night. "We're going to win them all. It's like the old days."
Well, Knicks fans might want to hope it's not exactly like the old days. Back when Lee used to talk trash in the direction of Chicago's Michael Jordan or Indiana's Reggie Miller things generally did not work out so well for New York.

The 16-10 Knicks are coming off a thrilling game Wednesday against Boston, even if it was a 118-116 defeat. "The Knicks have arrived," said Boston's Paul Pierce after the game. "They're going to be a force to reckon with in the division."

The 19-8 Heat, who have won 10 straight, will be another test for the Knicks. The reception for James, who spurned the Knicks to play with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami, should be one of the interesting stories of tonight's encounter.

"As long as we keep winning and keep having success, that’s what the fans want to see. That’s important here in New York. LeBron is in Miami. We’re in New York. It’s going to be a battle."
By the way, if you can still find a ticket for tonight's game, you had better be ready to dig deep into your wallet.
