Carmelo Anthony led the Knicks with 29 points and 7 rebounds. Tyson Chandler had a double-double for the Knicks with 19 points and a game-high 16 rebounds. The Heat starting line-up combined to grab 20 rebounds. J.R. Smith scored 11 points for the Knicks, the Knicks only had three players to score in double-figures. Rookie Tim Hardaway Jr returned home to Miami with a horrible shooting night, only making 2 out of 15 shots. This game was over in the third quarter and the Heat dominated the Knicks on both ends of the court. The Heat are starting to look unstoppable and if the Knicks don’t improve by April they won’t be making any playoff plans.
