The Miami Heat implemented a fast-paced, free-flowing offense that produced elite early-season results. Opponents responded by deploying zone defenses to limit dribble penetration and disrupt half-court actions. In the game against the Knicks, Miami faced 32 possessions in the zone and finished with a 126 offensive rating, boosted by a strong fourth quarter. The Knicks held Miami to 34 points in the paint through three quarters but yielded gaps late as the Heat used crisp ball movement to attack the back line. Coach Erik Spoelstra views repeated zone looks as valuable experience, and players emphasized swinging the ball and trusting each other to generate quality shots.
