The Miami Heat have a chance to close the series against the New York Knicks in Florida.
Before Betting on Knicks vs. Heat Game 6
The Knicks were excellent in New York in Game 4. They won 112-103, catching up with the rivals after they took an early 24-14 lead. It was all due to Jalen Brunson, who ended the night with 38 points, nine boards, and seven assists.
Two other stars, Julius Randle with 24 and RJ Barrett with 26 points, were the only ones among the hosts with 10 or more points, yet that’s been the way the Knicks play throughout the entire playoffs. NYK outrebounded the rivals 50 to 34.
Miami Heat had a more diversified scoring, with five double-digit players, but on the other side, they didn’t have anyone eclipsing Jimmy Butler’s 19 buckets. On top of that, the Knicks controlled the glass, which was another reason for this loss.
Three-point shooting was a problem for the Heat, who made only 13 of their 43 shots, and that’s something this team can’t afford in the playoffs. Bam Adebayo had 18 points, while Duncan Robinson appeared to score 17, five threes.
