MIAMI HEAT-NEW YORK KNICKS GARA-3 105-86 (SERIE 2-1) | Miami ritrova Jimmy Butler after the absence in race-2 and the number 22 immediately makes the difference: they are his 10 points in the first quarter alone to inspire not only his teammates, but also all the fans in the stands of the Kaseya Center. In fact, Miami plays well in both halves, e once you climb above the double-digit advantage, you never look backconquering the 2-1 victory of a series that will see the teams return to the field in the night between Monday and Tuesday

One of the protagonists in the Heat house is called Max Strusvery good at being ready not only on the perimeter to hurt New York’s defense with 19 points. The high scorer though is back Butler, who scores 28 points with 9/21 shooting (in general Miami shoots badly with 39%) and 10/11 for free throws, there are also i 17 with 12 rebounds by Bam Adebayo. But it is above all in the defensive half that Miami builds its fortunes, without ever getting the opponents into rhythm

New York shoots only 34% from the field during the match, including a disastrous one 8/40 from three points, and never finds a way to undermine the Heat defense. The best is Jalen Brunson with 20 points but continuously hunted by the excellent defense of Gabe Vincent, while the two starting wingers are hugely disappointed Julius Randle (10+14 with 4/15 shooting) and RJ Barrett (14 with 5/16). This is also added the injury of Immanuel Quickleywho went off the pitch after Adebayo collapsed onto his leg and sprained his ankle
