We were out played and out hustled tonight.The strangest part of this game was Jimmy Butler did NOT look like playoff Jimmy tonight.We played like it was a regular season game no great intensity not in it to win it.The Lakers Warriors did the same.One can only wonder if it was an NBA order.lets go kill them at home.
I'm enjoying the Heat shooting like crap and refs calling more fouls against them and it still takes the Knicks all they can give to try and squeak this out.
I missed most of the game but I notice a massive FT disparity and that was before the hack a Mitchell. Knicks complaining about refs yesterday paid off

fts Heat 16/19 Knicks 29/40 and we were in the game till the end. we gave them a scare lol. see you in south beach next
NY Knicks give yourselves a pat in the back. you did more than the Bucks. see you next game.
Let's Go Heat!!!
go lebron cant stand mouth piece curry and dirty player dramond
when dunc takes more shots than jim thats a problem
+13 free throws (if you remove Mitchell’s FT’s) is a milestone against a Butler led team.
We four out rebounded badly mainly due to poor shooting on our part
bad night for so fla sports although 2qbns marlins won
im little nervous now gotta get game 6
Kept the right mindset, kept shooting didn't give up. We'll get em next game
these are 2 even teams knicks have some confidence dam
congrats NY! you won 2 games!
I wished Butler would work the refs a lot more in a game like this. But I love his play on mentality
Good comeback, not enough
jon starks cost knicks a ring sit the f down
now they got the rebs...so they live to fight another day
Good game by the Knicks. They played like they needed and the Heat didn't do enough to deserve to close it out on the road.

Grimes on one leg stealing that ball will not sit well with Jimmy. That was not a good play for him
Got a lot of body on that ‘steal’.
lots of time...lets gooooo!
grimes steal what a play game changer
wheres turtle dam gabe too fn small dam it
19/7/9, yeah, he took the night off
2.
Down to 3

dunc having a lonnie walkerish game,

nba wants game 6 bam foul bs call
winning time! go Heat!!!
jim saving himself for game 6 i guess
jimmy awful quiet tonight
zach suggested that 4 games ago
Huge respect for Heat’s grit tonight!
Spo trying everything
dunc 2 misses ha ha rc 2qbn dam if he was so good game tied
Good job Spo!
panthers lost
Think I'd leave Lowry in the game. If he foulf out he fouls out, but he's playing well
Spo shoulda challenged either the block or that call.
That Dunc shot was in and out. Would have been 1
sorry hfl...that tagalog statement i wrote was really "Spo play whoever you want...including Dunc." lol Lets Go Heat!!
What a bail out call
