Knicks Fall 115-107 at Heat After Celtics Win

The New York Knicks lost 115-107 at the Miami Heat, dropping them to 2-1 as Jalen Brunson scored 37 but the team shot just 38.8% overall and 27.8% from three. Miami seized control with an 11-0 run while Brunson was on the bench and Andrew Wiggins hit the late go‑ahead shot. Karl-Anthony Towns struggled in Miami (15 points, 6-for-14 from deep), reserves combined for just 21 points, Ariel Hukporti's start was a nonfactor and Miles McBride was out for personal reasons. Earlier in the week New York beat Boston 105-95 behind Brunson's 31 and Towns' 26 points and 13 rebounds, with Josh Hart returning to grab 14 rebounds off the bench. Coach Mike Brown has been actively reworking lineups — briefly moving Towns to power forward before returning him to center — and has dialed up a faster, perimeter-oriented offense; travel fatigue, injuries and inconsistent bench production are emerging concerns for the team's championship hopes.
