2014-15 Game Thread: Knicks @ Heat

This is going to be a tough game for the Knicks to lose, but hopefully they can pull it out with Philly and Minnesota both playing very losable games tonight.

Hassan Whiteside is luckily healthy enough to play.

And, of course, most importantly, so is Andrea Bargnani.

Let’s go! Knicks?
