"The Miami Heat could not overcome more struggles on the defensive glass, losing 140-132 to the Jalen Brunson-less New York Knicks Friday evening inside Madison Square Garden. Outside of nine missed free throws, Miami didn't have any problem offensively. They shot 46.3 percent from the floor and drained 19 3-pointers, including multiple from Norman Powell - who had eight!! - Davion Mitchell, Simone Fontecchio and Pelle Larsson."
"However, the Heat struggled closing possessions once again, surrendering 20 boards that led to 20 backbreaking points. Mitchell Robinson had eight offensive rebounds alone in just 14 minutes, with four from Jordan Clarkson and two apiece from Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby, who left with an injury after five minutes. That was the story for the shorthanded Heat, who were without Bam Adebayo for the fifth-straight game."
