Sunday's game one loss to the eighth-seeded Miami Heat was a tough pill to swallow.The Knicks had an amazing opportunity to get ahead in the series with Julius Randle out and Jalen Brunson having a subpar game.Instead, they allowed a veteran Heat to stay in the game too long, ultimately succumbing to Jimmy Butler, Kyle Lowry, and a horrendous shooting performance.

After pulling off one of the greatest upsets in NBA playoff history, the Miami Heat went into New York and took Game 1 of their second-round series against the New York Knicks.However, Jimmy Butler sustained an ankle injury in the process, thrusting Miami's plan for the remainder of the series into question.

The Miami Heat squandered away another big opportunity on Wednesday night.Following a Tuesday night defeat that saw them, pretty much, blown out by the Toronto Raptors via the usage of the two-point shot, the Miami Heat we're coming into a game against the New York Knicks with a chance to not only get back on the right side of the winning column but continue their climb out of NBA Play-In territory.

The Miami Heat had another off putting first half on Friday against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Jimmy Butler's second-half surge fueled a second-half comeback, earning the 119-115 victory over the Cavs on Wednesday.Miami trailed by 14 with 3:12 left in the third quarter, but it eventually hopped on the back of the player they rely on most when it's in need of a bucket.

The Miami Heat went into Madison Square Garden and beat the New York Knicks, 108-101, to take a 1-0 lead in their second-round series.Here are eight thoughts from the game...
1.All eyes will be on Jimmy Butler's right ankle.With 5:05 left in the fourth quarter, Butler stepped on Josh Hart's foot, turned his ankle and crumpled to the floor in obvious pain.

The Miami Heat have had several chances to take control of the standings.They made a push to come so close to the 5th seed, trailing by only 1.5 games at one point.Now it's looking more and more slim of getting there, as the Heat have dropped 3 straight games since, including tonight's loss in New York 101-92.

Game Story:
The 40-36 Miami Heat are headed for yet another critical matchup on the road against the 43-33 New York Knicks inside MSG.Miami is currently 3 games behind New York for the 5th seed, and if there's any sort of slim chance of snagging that 5th spot before the season ends, this is a game that the Heat have to win to make that possible.

The Knicks need to fend off the Brooklyn Nets and Miami Heat if they want to lock up the No. 5 seed in the East.They're finished playing the Nets (2-2 season record), but they have a massive game against the Heat Wednesday night at MSG.If the Knicks win, they'll clinch the season series and tiebreaker should Miami come back in the standings.

With Jimmy sitting due to neck pain, Oladipo found himself in the starting lineup - but it was Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro who would handle the brunt of the offensive load to start getting the Heat out to a 10-point lead.Miami's decision early to go into a zone defensive set would cost them as Scottie Barnes and OG Annoy erased the Heat lead.

Game Story:
The 40-35 and now 7th seed (again) Miami Heat will look to bounce back from Saturday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets with a matchup in Toronto.The Toronto Raptors are 37-38 and sitting in 9th place in the Eastern Conference, fighting for play-in positioning.They are coming off a win the other night in which OG Anunoby dropped a near 30 point performance on strong efficiency.

Pascal Siakam and the Toronto Raptors may have beat up on the Miami Heat thanks to a Scottie Barnes masterclass, but there was a tinge of bittersweetness in that victory.As with all wins against Miami in the last few years, it came at the expense of Kyle Lowry.Even though Lowry has been in Miami for the last two years, and Toronto has done a very nice job of peeling the Band-Aid off and transitioning to the post-Lowry era, quotes from stars like Siakam show that the specter of Lowry hasn't left this locker room.

It took over three months and five previous failed tries but the Raptors are back at .500.Miami was missing Jimmy Butler in this game, after being ruled out with a neck injury.The Heat were already a small team and losing one of their big wings didn't help.Toronto crushed Miami with a 62-36 points in the paint advantage.

With the long shadow of Willis Reed looming large over the proceedings, the New York Knicks (42-32) lost to the Miami Heat (40-34) on Wednesday, 127-120.Tonight's game in the Miami-Dade Arena had playoff implications, with the Knicks, Nets, and Heat all jockeying for fifth, sixth, and seventh seeds of the Eastern Conference.

The Miami Heat had an opportunity to come out and handle business on Wednesday night in order to hopefully climb further up the standings in the NBA's Eastern Conference.And though in some contests you can't tell if the Miami Heat are well aware of the situation at hand or not, that wasn't the case on Wednesday night.

The Miami Heat are coming off a good win against the Utah Jazz on Monday night.A high-scoring affair, it would come down to the very end, as both teams made the plays that needed to be made to win the game.However, the Miami Heat came out victorious and on the back of a team effort, with a few of their key guys making big plays such as, of course, Jimmy Butler, all the way to the returning Kyle Lowry, who is now playing off the bench.

With the trade deadline now over, all Heat fans have to look forward to at this point in terms of acquiring new talent is the buyout market.There are plenty of talented players in that market currently who can make a positive impact on this Miami Heat team.I went over some of the realistic options as well as including almost everyone who will be available in my last article:
There is one name who has repeatedly resurfaced in a buyout situation all season long and still is; Russell Westbrook.

The Miami Heat didn't make a trade at the trade deadline and they have yet to make an acquisition on the NBA Buyout Market.However, they may be getting some immediate help back into their lineup on Wednesday.While Tyler Herro still isn't certain to play in their next contest on Wednesday, Duncan Robinson is again traveling with the team, and this time to Brooklyn, as they look to face the Nets.

In the final game before the 2022-23 NBA All-Star break, the Miami Heat will travel to Brooklyn to take on the Nets Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. ET.The two teams have only met one other time this season, which resulted in a 102-101 Nets victory in Miami behind a near-buzzer-beater from Royce O'Neale.Kevin Durant was injured midway through the third quarter, only playing 30 minutes with 17 points, but Kyrie Irving finished with a game-high 29 points on 10-of-21 shooting.

Against a top-three team in the NBA, the Miami Heat came out and gave it all they had.However, they couldn't come up with a win.And in a theme this season for this team, continuing to miss key pieces and this time including Tyler Herro, it was up to the other two top players for the Miami Heat to give the Denver Nuggets all they could muster in hopes of victory.

This is our GAMETHREAD: Chat live about the game here!The Miami Heat (32-36) hit the road to face the Brooklyn Nets (33-24) on Wednesday night in their final game before the All-Star break.While the Heat's injury list largely remains the same, Duncan Robinson has been upgraded to questionable for the first time in several weeks.

Celtics It's the second year in a row Tatum will give the 3-point contest a shot.Jayson Tatum will participate in the NBA 3-point contest during All-Star weekend, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.Kevin Huerter, Tyler Herro, Tyrese Haliburton, Buddy Hield, Damian Lillard, Anfernee Simons, and Utah's Lauri Markkanen will round out the field.

The Toronto Raptors raised some eyebrows when they traded a first-round pick to acquire Jakob Poeltl, but the early returns have been very promising.Poeltl has been a defensive standout that is coming off his best offensive game as a pro.Poeltl recorded 30 points on 15-17 shooting in a victory against the Orlando Magic, pulling down nine rebounds and blocking six shots while he was at it.

Tyler Herro has accepted an invitation to the 2023 NBA All-Star weekend 's 3 point contest.Herro will be going up against Jayson Tatum, Damian Lillard, Kevin Huerter, Buddy Hield, Tyrese Haliburton, Anfernee Simons and Lauri Markkanen.It is not expected for Herro's knee contusion to keep him out of participating.
