Blame that on the hot weather.New York arrived in Miami for Game 3 of their second-round series against the Heat and did a bunch of nothing.So little did the Knicks do that they barely cracked the 85-point barrier, losing their first game on the road 86-105 to the hosting Heat.Let's make this a quickie: Jimmy Butler returned after spending nearly a week rehabbing, Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle were good to go for the Knicks, Josh Hart usurped Quentin Grimes for a place in the starting lineup, and all of the other important stuff was the same before the ball got rolling.
