Knicks-Heat Preview

LeBron James doesn't think the Miami Heat are out to make statements. The New York Knicks would like to make one of their own after failing to do so against the Heat less than two weeks ago.

Looking to build on his first triple-double since he last faced the Knicks, James will try to help the surging Heat beat New York for the seventh consecutive time Tuesday night.

Miami (23-9) has won 14 of 15 since a 9-8 start to the season. The Heat beat the Los Angeles Lakers 96-80 on Saturday, holding the two-time reigning NBA champion to 40.5-percent shooting.

Miami is limiting opponents to an average of 86.7 points over the last 15 games.

"We're not trying to make a statement to anyone," said James, who had 27 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. "We're trying to show each other that we can play at a high level and try to get better every game.

"We never had that arrogant part where we thought we were bigger than everybody else, but we were just very confident before we did anything. To have that humbling experience at the beginning of the season has helped us."

The triple-double was James' third of the season and second in five games. The two-time reigning league MVP had 32 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in a 113-91 victory over New York (18-12) at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 17 - his first meeting with the Knicks since spurning them to join the Heat as a free agent in the offseason.

James is averaging 34.5 points, 7.7 assists and 7.5 rebounds in 11 games versus the Knicks since the start of the 2007-08 season.

The Heat have also dominated New York, winning six in a row by an average of 14.1 points. Dwyane Wade has been a big reason for that, averaging 35.8 points in those meetings while hitting 12 of 25 3-pointers. Wade had 26 points at New York earlier this month.

The Knicks have turned in a pair of impressive defensive performances since a three-game skid. Three nights after a 112-98 victory over Oklahoma City, they beat Central Division-leading Chicago 103-95 on Saturday. The Bulls and Thunder shot a combined 41.5 percent versus New York - 22.6 from 3-point range.

"We did a beautiful job defensively," the Knicks' Amar'e Stoudemire said. "We've been talking about defense now for the past - actually the whole year - but more so the past week about communicating, helping the helper, so it's really showing."

Stoudemire had 24 points and 14 rebounds in the last matchup with the Heat.

Knicks point guard Raymond Felton had 20 points and 12 assists Saturday. He'll seek to improve upon his performance against Miami from Dec. 17, when he made 3 of 12 shots and finished with eight points and 10 assists.

Felton has shot 29.5 percent from the floor, including 1 for 10 from beyond the arc, in his last four visits to Miami - all while playing for Charlotte.

Wade's 40 help Heat beat Knicks, 106-98

MIAMI (AP) No blowout this time for the Miami Heat. They can beat the Knicks with a grind-it-out finish, too.

Dwyane Wade scored 15 of his season-high 40 points in the fourth quarter, LeBron James and Chris Bosh each finished with 18 points and 10 rebounds, and the Heat held off a late comeback to beat New York 106-98 on Tuesday night, Miami's 15th win in its last 16 games overall and its seventh straight over the Knicks.

Wade hit a step-back 3-pointer with less than 2 minutes left to stop one New York run, and James essentially sealed it by blowing past Danilo Gallinari for a layup and seven-point lead with 40 seconds remaining.

"My teammates did a great job, especially in the fourth, of looking for me," said Wade, who scored 15 of Miami's 21 points in the last 8:30. "Guys did a great job getting me the ball in my sweet spots and I was able to attack."

Zydrunas Ilgauskas scored 14 points and added 10 rebounds for the Heat, who won by 22 in New York on Dec. 17 and led this one by 22 as well - then held off a big challenge down the stretch.

"I told the guys, a 22-point lead against the Knicks is similar to a seven- or eight-point game against a normal team," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "They kept on coming ... and that's what they do."

Amare Stoudemire scored 30 points for the Knicks, who lost for the fourth time in their last six games. Wilson Chandler scored 21 for New York, which got 15 from Raymond Felton, 13 from Gallinari and 11 from Toney Douglas.

"These guys are playing as well as anybody," Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni said of the Heat before the game, "if not the best."

At times Tuesday, those words rang particularly true.

Stoudemire had a tip-in to make it 97-93 with 2:02 left, and Spoelstra drew a technical for arguing from referee David Guthrie that it should have been offensive interference. Felton hit the free throw and suddenly, it was a one-possession game.

Wade wasn't worried.

His 3-pointer made the lead six again, and about a minute later, he went to the floor to collect a key rebound. James went left and past Gallinari with ease on the ensuing possession, and Miami held on.

"If you do panic, you're probably going to lose," Bosh said. "To be honest with you, we've given up leads before. Everybody gives up leads. It's the NBA. It's nothing you can do to change it. ... We've been there before. You never panic. I don't care how bad it looks. You just keep playing basketball and stay the course."

Wade had the highest point total for a Heat player this season - he had 39 against Utah on Nov. 10 - and the 29th time that the 2006 NBA finals MVP had put up at least 40 in a regular-season game.

And for the Heat, it was the 16th straight time they held an opponent under 100. They outrebounded New York 50-32, and put their 14th win of December in the books, tying a franchise record for any month.

"It took a few weeks, maybe a month, maybe a month-plus for us to feel comfortable with one another on the court," James said. "But we figured that out."

Both teams play an up-tempo, get-out-and-go style, the Knicks coming in leading the NBA at nearly 108 points per game, the Heat averaging nearly 101.

So naturally, it was a 7-foot-3 guy who isn't exactly a speed demon who stole the early show.

By the time the game was 8 1/2 minutes old, Ilgauskas had 12 points - to Stoudemire's two - and nine rebounds. Everything was around the rim for Ilgauskas, who had only scored more than 12 points in one game this season, forget doing it in nary a few minutes against a legitimate MVP candidate in Stoudemire.

His spree helped Miami run out to a 34-15 lead late in the first, and that was all before Bosh even hit the scoring column.

"Just had bad energy," said Knicks guard Landry Fields.

Stoudemire starting hitting his stride in the second quarter, getting nine points, but the Knicks never got within 10 even while Miami managed just one field goal in the first 5 minutes of the period. It was 53-40 Heat at the half, and things likely seemed comfortable to the standing-room-only crowd.

They were not.

"Tonight was a measuring stick game for us and we feel we played well despite the first quarter," Stoudemire said.

The Knicks have scored 100 points or more in 12 of their last 14 games, their two losses to Miami the lone exceptions, and came out flying in the third quarter. Felton banged his knee near midcourt with 8 minutes left, recovered while keeping his dribble and threw an alley-oop pass to Chandler to get the Knicks within 57-49 - the closest New York had gotten since 4:01 remained in the opening period.

"They play at a different level, speed-wise, defensively," D'Antoni said. "And we didn't match it - but then in the second, third and fourth quarters we did our part. Everything had to go right."

Felton hit a jumper 2 minutes later to cut the margin to 61-55, before Wade kick-started a Heat rally. A jumper from the left corner, followed by a gliding layup around Gallinari, restored Miami's double-digit lead, and the margin eventually reached 80-63 when James Jones hit three free throws with 32 seconds left in the third.

"As you guys can see," Stoudemire said, "we're getting better and it's a good sign for us."

Better? Yes.

Better than Miami? Not on this night, thanks to Wade's big finish.

"He made big shot after big shot," James said.

NOTES: Not even counting a defensive 3-second violation on the Knicks, there were six technicals called - Stoudemire, Shawne Williams and D'Antoni picking them up for the Knicks; Wade, Ilgauskas and Spoelstra getting whistled for Miami. ... The Knicks' 40 first-half points represented their second-worst total after 24 minutes this season. They had 38 against Atlanta Nov. 27, and had been under 50 only five times. ... Ever-devoted Knicks fan Spike Lee was courtside, as was pitcher Chris Volstad of the Florida Marlins. ... Spoelstra reiterated that getting sharpshooter Mike Miller back into the rotation will take up to three weeks.

Heat-Knicks notebook

THE FACTS: Miami's Big Three of Dwyane Wade (40 points, nine rebounds), LeBron James (18 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists), and Chris Bosh (18 points, 10 rebounds) led the way and delivered a 106-98 Heat victory, their 15th win in 16 games. Miami never gave up the lead after going ahead, 4-2. New York made a couple of notable runs, getting within 61-55, 88-80, and 97-94, but the Knicks could never close the deal.

QUOTABLE: "They kept on coming."
-- Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on New York making comebacks to get with 61-55, 88-80 and 97-94.

THE STAT: Miami, which doesn't have a strong low-post presence, ended with a season-best 56 points in the paint. The Heat got those points on fastbreaks and in transition offense. In both cases Miami used its 50-32 rebounding edge to get easy buckets in the paint.

TURNING POINT: Tough to say for sure but it was fairly early. Miami took a 34-15 lead late in the first quarter and at one point had a 14-2 rebounding edge. New York closed to 37-27 in the second quarter but Miami went on a 12-0 run. Miami also went on a 12-4 run when New York got within 61-55 in the third quarter.

QUOTABLE II: "Hopefully we can turn things around by having some more energy and execute a little better."
-- New York coach Mike D'Antoni on what the Knicks could do differently from the first time these teams met in a 113-91 Miami victory.

HOT: Knicks forward Amar'e Stoudemire (30 points) had his 16th consecutive game of at least 20 points and is averaging 26.2 points per game, second in the NBA.

NOT: Knicks forward Danilo Gallinari is 6-for-24 (.250) on three-pointers in his last four games.

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: Center Zydrunas Ilgauskas had 12 points and nine rebounds in the first quarter. He didn't play in the second quarter for some reason, but, hey, when you almost have a double-double in the first quarter you deserve a break. The 7-foot-3 Ilgauskas ended with 14 points and 10 rebounds in just 14 minutes because the Knicks play small lineups.

INSIDE THE ARENA: Knicks fan extraordinaire Spike Lee, the highly-acclaimed director, was sitting courtside in his Knicks apparel. He chatted up James a couple of times, chatted up Heat guard Mario Chalmers and waved a "hello" to actress Gabrielle Union, Wade's girlfriend.

ROOKIE WATCH: Knicks forward Landry Fields had a rough night, finishing with just two points on 1-for-6 shooting. He went to the line with the Knicks trailing, 100-94, and hit 1-of-3. He grabbed six rebounds, but clearly didn't have one of his better games.

GOOD MOVE: Miami wasn't shooting three-pointers well (it was 2-for-7 in the first half and 2-for-10 at one point in the third period) so it stopped shooting them. Nice recognition.

BAD MOVE: The refs were handing out technical fouls like they were going out of style. There were six in total. Both coaches got one, and so did Wade, Stoudemire, Shawne Williams (from the bench) and Ilgauskas. Maybe half were deserved.

UP NEXT: For Miami at Houston (Wednesday), against Golden State (Saturday), at Charlotte (Monday), against Milwaukee (Jan. 4), at Milwaukee (Jan. 7). For New York at Orlando (Thursday), against Indiana (Sunday), against San Antonio (Jan. 4), at Phoenix (Jan. 7), at Lakers (Jan. 9).
