The Knicks added to Miami misery with a 116-95 victory at Madison Square Garden, dooming the reeling Heat to their eighth consecutive loss. New York, on the other hand, improved to 3-2 in the post-Jalen Brunson era and guaranteed themselves a seed no worse than ninth on the Eastern Conference leaderboard.

Karl-Anthony Towns stuffs the stat sheet like few others, but the New York Knicks star is falling into old Minnesota Timberwolves patterns.
