Heat 115, Knicks 100: A star in the making
The Knicks lost yet another game, but thanks to an RJ Barrett gem and Tom Thibodeau finally relenting a bit on his rigid coaching style, Knicks fans were given something to feel good about to start the home stretch of the season.

Game Day: Knicks vs. Heat, 3/29/21
The Knicks are… maybe the favorites in this game against the Heat? The Knicks are riding a three-game winning streak, and the Heat a six-game losing streak. Could we be treated to a heavyweight fight between RJ Barrett and Jimmy Butler?
How lessons from Jimmy Butler could help shape RJ Barrett’s career trajectory
It was a small moment in one of the tougher Knicks losses this season — Jimmy Butler took a few seconds out of his day to give RJ Barrett some advice during the game. Could lessons from Butler be the key to RJ developing into his best self?
Heat 98, Knicks 96: Reach uppity reach gotta reach
The Knicks faced the Heat for the second straight game, and despite off nights from a few key players, a shot in the arm from the newly-acquired Derrick Rose kept the Knicks within one possession of a potential victory. Still, the Knicks lost a heartbreaker.

The Knicks couldn’t bring home a third straight win against the reigning Eastern Conference champions at home, but kept it close behind a masterful game from Julius Randle and an explosion from Reggie Bullock.
