Playoffs – 2nd Round
East – Game 6:
- New York Knicks 92 – Miami Heat 96 (MIA wins series 4-2)
Highlights: The Miami Heat are headed to the Eastern Conference Finals after defeating the New York Knicks 96-92 in Game 6 of their second-round series. It was a closely contested battle that the Knicks led early on, but after the Knicks failed to get a shot up on a potential game-tying possession with under a minute remaining, the Heat pulled away and sealed the game at the foul line. It was an incredible effort out of Jalen Brunson, who scored 41 points on 14-of-22 shooting. The rest of the Knicks failed to support him, however, as they made just 13 field goals in the entire game. Now the Heat are the second No. 8 seed in NBA history to reach the conference finals.
