The New York Knicks took advantage of a Jimmy Butler-less Miami Heat team, as they evened up the series at one game apiece following their win in Game 2.
However, the Knicks did what was needed, as Josh Hart knocked down three crucial free throws to pad the lead in the waning seconds to secure the victory. Despite Butler's absence, the Heat saw contributions from all over, which is why they had a 54-51 lead at halftime. But the Knicks outscored the Heat 60-51 in the second half to pull away with the win.
For the Knicks, Brunson had a game-high 30 points after a very efficient 10-of-19 from the field, including 6-of-10 from three after missing all seven attempts in Game 1. Julius Randle had 25 points after missing out in Game 1 due to injury. He had a double-double with 12 rebounds while tallying eight assists as well.
