Even poor Miami Heat defense can’t explain some of opposing shot-making

The Miami Heat are coming off one of their most demoralizing defeats in recent history. After coming all the way back from 17 down against the blazing-hot New York Knicks team on Friday, it would come down to one final shot to win or lose the game.

And after what was the most backbreaking, disheartening, and crushing fadeaway three-point attempt made by Julius Randle to put the Knicks up two with just a second or so remaining in the game, the Heat couldn’t even inbound the ball to give themselves a chance at a shot to win the game.

And that’s even though Kevin Love had a timeout to use. That’s neither here nor there at this point though, as the results are final. However, what is both here and there is the notion of the Knicks’ hot shooting.
