The Heat struck first in their Eastern Conference Semifinals series against the Knicks with a 108-101 win at Madison Square Garden Sunday afternoon.
Jimmy Butler continued his scorching form in the playoffs, dropping 25 points, 11 rebounds, four assists and two steals, leading his team to victory despite suffering an ankle injury in the fourth quarter.
The Knicks were led by 26 points from RJ Barrett and 25 points from Jalen Brunson, but as a team they will be looking for a much-improved performance shooting the ball after collectively shooting 7-of-34 from the 3-point line.
Can the Heat take a commanding 2-0 series lead, or will the Knicks bounce back at MSG?
