Through 3 Quarters

The Miami Heat are just one quarter away from delivering their fans the win they've been expecting. Either team is in a position to win, but they lead against the New York Knicks 90-85.

The Heat have enjoyed the tag-team combination of point guard Kyle Lowry and center Bam Adebayo. The former has 16 points along with eight rebounds, while the latter has posted a double-double on 12 points and 12 boards in addition to four dimes. This makes it five consecutive games in which Adebayo has had at least ten rebounds. One thing to keep an eye out for is Duncan Robinson's foul situation as he currently sits at four.

Small forward R.J. Barrett has done his best for New York, currently boasting 39 points (46% of their total) in addition to six boards. Barrett has also picked up four fouls.

New York has been used to carrying a lead into the fourth quarter lately, so we'll see how they respond to the deficit.

What to Know

The New York Knicks have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with the Miami Heat and are hoping to record their first win since Jan. 12 of 2020. After a few days' rest for both teams, they will meet up at 7:30 p.m. ET Feb. 25 at Madison Square Garden. Coming off of a loss in a game they were expected to win, the Knicks nows face the more daunting task of proving themselves against unfavorable odds.

New York was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap last week as they fell 111-106 to the Brooklyn Nets. New York was up 65-44 at the end of the half but somehow couldn't manage to seal the deal. New York's loss came about despite a quality game from power forward Julius Randle, who posted a double-double on 31 points and ten rebounds. That makes it five consecutive games in which Randle has had at least ten rebounds.

Meanwhile, it may have taken double overtime to finish the job, but Miami ultimately got the result they were hoping for last Thursday with a 111-107 victory over the Charlotte Hornets. Point guard Kyle Lowry was the offensive standout of the contest for Miami, shooting 6-for-11 from beyond the arc and finishing with 25 points, five dimes and nine boards.

New York is expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten the Oklahoma City Thunder Feb. 14 easily too and instead slipped up with a 127-123. In other words, don't count the Heat out just yet.
