Knicks Send Heat To 13th Straight Loss
Knicks 88, Heat 84.
MIAMI (CBS4) ―
The New York Knicks happily exploited another fourth-quarter collapse by the Miami Heat, who sent Pat Riley to a new low Saturday night.
Jamal Crawford scored 22 points and Nate Robinson added 19, including a banked jumper with 2:20 left that put New York ahead to stay, and the Knicks beat Miami 88-84 -- sending the Heat to their 13th straight loss, the longest in the league and the worst skein of Riley's career.
Miami led by 10 late in the third quarter and took a four-point lead into the fourth, but lost yet again to match the second-longest skid in team history.
Only the expansion Heat -- who lost their first 17 games of the 1988-89 season -- have dropped more in a row than this team, which has simply free-fallen since winning an NBA championship a mere 19 months ago.
Dwyane Wade led Miami with 22 points, on 7-for-23 shooting, and nine assists. Udonis Haslem scored 11 points and Mark Blount and Shaquille O'Neal each scored 10 for the Heat.
Miami had a chance to force overtime, but Wade missed a 3-pointer with 7 seconds left. The rebound bounced off the Knicks' David Lee and went out of bounds, giving the Heat one more chance that resulted in Daequan Cook's missed 3 from the right wing.
Zach Randolph had 16 points and 14 rebounds and Lee finished with 15 points and eight rebounds for New York, which has won four of its last five.
