The Miami HEAT Closing Out the Game vs. the Knicks | October 26, 2025

Yes, it’s only two games into the season, but the Heat are are scoring millions of points. Eric Spolstro said his team has to score more than it did last year. And as you mentioned, they put up 146 points in their last game against Memphis, including a franchise record 86 points. 86 points in the first half. Nick D, as you mentioned, been improved. It’s going to be tested tonight. On behalf of myself, my teammates, the organization, we want to welcome y’all to our home opener. It’s going to be a great year. Let’s get it. As for Miami, John, they they played well, but lost a high-scoring game at Orlando. Then blew up Memphis with 146 points and a 32-point win. Let’s see how the offense stands up to to the best defensive team in the league through two games in these Knicks tonight. Yeah, I’m excited. Got to contest those open threes. He’s too good out there. Norman Powell gets the scoring started for Miami with his seventh tray of the season. And missing a little wear down with a defensive rebound for the Heat. Norman Powell catch and fire. Kaboom. He is just an excellent return. Just the second block this season for Towns. And that man undeterred. Eight points for Norman Powell through the first quarter. 13-10. New York playing at their tempo and at their pace. And John, it’s easy to dictate the game when you have a sort of dictating man. Playing a lot of these bigger guys at just 66. Dion getting to the bucket. His first score. Williams brings it down. Nice ball movement for a Smith three. Kaboom. That’s the total opposite of the last possession. Powell with heart on his hip. Oh, that was a very difficult shot over Bridges. Loose ball. Powell got it plus a foul. Two Knicks go down. Powell prevails. Floater and he can get all the way to the rim. Five on the shot clock. Powell against a double team. Gets by Yabusle for the bucket. What a nice attitude he has too. Just being around him already on that road trip. Getting to know him a little bit. He’s got a great way. Always trying to pick up his teammates. Um, you know, got a quiet confidence around him that I think is really infectuous to some of the younger players, too. The Knicks have opened up a five-point lead. This is the biggest lead for either team in this game. Hakez. Oh, through rush hour. New York traffic. Mitchell Robinson, their seven foot center, also out. He hasn’t played yet. Still coming back from last season’s two ankle surgeries. Couple minutes in the second quarter. Towns losing the ball. But Drew Smith. Here come the Heat. HZ. Yes. Boy, he really got out from defense to offense quickly. Threeonone break there. The Knicks already have six offensive boards. Back door cut. Yoic. Smith open three. Kaboom. Got to make those Yic. Now Hawkhead. Bam from the corner. Yes. First field goal of the game for Bam. His sixth triple of the season. Puts the Heat up by four. 33y old out of Missouri. Jordan Clarkson. Six man of the year. Vekio second try. Bellisimo was a second round pick a couple years ago. Vekio Bellisimo in rhythm. Comes off a five offensive rebound game that night. Just tying his career high. Hakez rolls it home. John, he is getting to the basket and finishing at a at a very high rate. And it’s Hakez with a rebound. Wiggins down the runway. Got it. There we go. First score of the night for Andrew Wigan. 16-footer. Short rebound. Hawz. Haime initiating off the dribble for two. Hz with eight points. Six in this court. Hz was right. Just hit hard against Wick. Oh. Oh, it looked like it rolled off Hart. It did. JD D. Roza took his time but came up with the right one. Contested shot. Rebound to Powell on the move. Wiggins right at Anonobi. Banks it in. Uses the glass well again on the angle that double and go right into the middle to get to that strong right hand hook. Seven points, 10 boards for Towns. Bam. Comes back with a turnaround to take away scores but also to allow themselves to get out in transition more. Good defense by Khloe Wear to open the third quarter denying Carly Anthony Towns. We wear was very quiet 10 first half minutes. Matter of fact, that’s his first score of the game. Powell with the rebound and on the move. Got caught up on the dribble, but scored anyway. Well, good things happen when the heat plays swiftly. Wiggins. Good defense that time and enjoyed the box out by wear on 40. Good catch, Wiggins. Touchdown. Trying to think which way is he going to attack and he just steps right into that trouble. Kell booming from downtown for Norman Pal. He’s nine and nine from the free throw line is on. Noi booted that ball to Wiggins. Az missed the D. Wiggins has it back. Haime underneath. Makes good on it. Reset on the shot clock. Powell wanted the foul. It was just deflected out now. Four to shoot. Mitchell going to drive it. Get it off. Knock it down. Oh, tough one there. But now it’s Drew Smith up top. Hakez. Nico Yovic. Yes, sir. Nicole Yoic with his first score of the game, his sixth triple of the season. That shot right there or his first before he’s playing Miami’s ninth triple tonight. Pressure on Kick forcing a turnover. Nico Yovic. [Applause] Tough one in the paint. Bounces in. Way to roll. Haime Hz Jr. Nicks had 10 offensive rebounds in the first half. Kaboom Simone off on Teio with his third triple tonight. Again, they they’ve got Towns in there with Brunson still resting on the bench. Haime. Oh, down the Himeme Highway for the contested field goal. 11 straight points for Miami and a 12point lead with the Knicks in July. Yoic missing the three. Bam tips it out and Drew Smith took it away from Bridges. Hakez for the throw down. 15 for Hakez. Struggled to make their threes have taken 45 of the 46 of them. Oh, goes in. It goes in and Yovic will go to the strike for for a free throw. Nico plus one. Talk about playing to your size. Short and the rebound to Ban. His 12th of the game. Fontekio on the keeper. Got it. Simone Fonteio. He continues to play so well off the heat pen. Powell slipping in and scoring. Norman Powell inside. He stumbles out of bounds and throws it right to DaVon Mitchell. The wheels are coming off the Knicks bandwagon right now. Powell open three. Kaboo. Stormman Norman. He’s got 29. That was his third triple before the shot. Eight straight points for New York. Oh, big one. A big basket for DaVon Mitchell. Powder. Bam. Look. Oh, Bam. Got a dunk. I think what’s so key right now for Miami is really being able to execute down the stretch right now. Be composed. They can’t play the same way they’ve played the rest of the game where they’re pitching ahead and playing loose and fast. The Knicks are slowing the game down and you got to execute right now. So Bridges deep on the corner out to Brunson drives it, scores it. Brunson’s a marvelous player, folks after the heat and pulled in front by 18. Wiggins. Yes. A three-pointer from basketball heaven from Andrew Wigger. Five Wiggins only triple of the night. And an offensive foul on New York. It’s on Towns for setting the moving screen. Deny Brunson the ball right here. There you go. Brunson gets it. Moving screen by Hart. They’re very one-dimensional right now. They want to give the ball to Brunson so bad. 3 and0 will be extended, but Brunson keeping their hope alive with the steal. A miss. Wiggins with a rebound. And here come the Heat with 24 seconds left. Finishing touch. Good night New York right now. Everyone on their feet. That big smile from the captain. Nico going up top. Climbing the ladder. Crusher right there. Bam. Going high and hard. A 19.13 rebound game for B. Miami wins the game 115 to 107. The Heat win their home opener. The Heat win their second straight game to improve to two and one.
