“#Lowly Heat snap Knicks’ three-game<\/a> win streak<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said during the NBA Finals last October he\u2019d like to build a defensive culture like Pat Riley\u2019s Miami Heat.<\/p>\n

Thibodeau has done a good job at trying to get there, but his Knicks still can\u2019t beat the Heat and saw their three-game winning streak snapp<\/a>ed Monday night.<\/p>\n

Miami swept the season series<\/a> as Thibodeau\u2019s favorite player, Jimmy Butler, led a second-half comeback with 27 points to power the disappointing Heat to a 98-88 victory at the Garden.<\/p>\n

After making The Finals in the bubble last season, the Heat have been a major disappointment and came to the Garden on a six-game losing streak. But they looked like the bubble Heat in defending with menacing glee and knocked off the Knicks who shockingly still lead them in the standings.<\/p>\n

Julius Randle, who missed his season\u2019s first game in Milwaukee on Saturday, returned but didn\u2019t have any rhythm despite a strong finish. Randle finished with 22 points but shot just 7 of 17 with five turnovers.<\/p>\n

In the bunched-up East, the Knicks fell to 24-23, in fifth place, while the eighth-place Heat improved to 23-24<\/p>\n

Miami\u2019s defense forced the Knicks into missing their first eight shots during a 16-point first quarter. The Knicks climbed out of it in the second period when a 16-0 run saw them take a 34-27 lead.<\/p>\n

The run was capped by a dynamic drive to the basket past two Miami defenders by struggling rookie Obi Toppin and consecutive 3-pointers by Derrick Rose and Alec Burks.<\/p>\n

The Knicks led by 43-36 at halftime in a slugfest between two of the league\u2019s best defensive outfits.<\/p>\n

Butler got hot in the third quarter, dropped in nine straight points as the Heat tied it at 47-47 with 9:10 left. But he picked up a technical for yelling either at the referee or RJ Barrett after sinking a jumper.<\/p>\n

Duncan Robinson, the sharpshooter out of Williams College, got hot from the 3-point line, too, as the Heat scored 39 points in the third quarter after scoring just 36 in the first half.<\/p>\n

Butler finished with 17 points in the third period, scoring from all parts of the court. The Heat took an 11-point lead into the final period.<\/p>\n

Early in the fourth, Miami scored on a Tyler Herro after a possession in which they snared three offensive rebounds.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
