The Miami Heat edged the New York Knicks 115–113 on November 17 at Kaseya Center in a tightly contested matchup where bench scoring and three-point shooting proved decisive. Norris Powell led Miami with 19 points and Donovan Mitchell added 18, while the Heat connected on 14 three-pointers and shot 44.6 percent from the field. New York's Mikal McBride paced the Knicks with 25 points and Mikal Bridges contributed 23, but New York's 9 made threes and 15 turnovers—compared to Miami's 12—ultimately cost them in a two-point defeat. The Heat's fourth-quarter surge of 32 points proved crucial after the Knicks dominated the second and third periods with 31 points each. Despite New York's superior rebounding advantage (48–40) and defensive rating (102.9 to 104.1), Miami's offensive efficiency and three-point volume carried the night. The loss leaves New York searching for consistency on the road as Miami strengthens its Eastern Conference position.
