Terry Rozier vs Knicks
Entering the final month of the regular season, The Miami Heat entered a crucial point in the regular season where every win became crucial in the standings. And in a hard-fought game against the New York Knicks, Terry Rozier put on his best performance in a Heat uniform and led them to victory with a 34-point explosion to go along with a season-high eight threes in a 109-99 victory.
Rozier set the tone for Miami and came out the gate aggressive with 12 points and three made triples with one resulting in a four-point play. Rozier hit a plethora of tough threes with one coming at the end of the shot clock in the third quarter and a dagger three over Miles McBride to put Miami up eight with 34.7 seconds to go.

The Heat were looking for another ball handler with a scoring mindset when they traded Kyle Lowry for Rozier, and it initially took a while for Rozier to get comfortable on the team. But as time went on, Rozier had big offensive outputs with this outing being the brightest of them all.
Unfortunately, Rozier only appeared in three more games and ended up missing the rest of the season with a neck injury. Hopefully Rozier can be healthy for a majority of the season and especially in the final months of the season where the Heat will need his scoring and playmaking when it matters most.
