The New York Knicks held off the Miami Heat’s fourth-quarter surge to avoid elimination with their 112-103 Game 5 victory at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night.
The Heat outscored the Knicks 29-28 in the fourth quarter, but the Knicks did enough to come back from their 10-point first-quarter deficit after finding their offense in the second and third.
They led by as much as 19 in this contest, and a lot of that was thanks to Jalen Brunson, who didn’t hit one minute for head coach Tom Thibodeau in this must-win contest for the Knicks.
