The Miami Heat defeated the New York Knicks 115–107 on October 26 at Kaseya Center, with Noriel Powell leading Miami's balanced attack with 29 points while Bam Adebayo added 19. The Heat shot 45.8 percent from the field and made 13 three-pointers, controlling the game through a dominant second quarter that produced 33 points and establishing a cushion the Knicks could not overcome. Jalen Brunson kept New York competitive with a team-high 37 points, and the Knicks made 15 three-pointers, but their 38.8 percent overall field-goal percentage and 16 turnovers proved costly. Miami's defense held the Knicks to a 100.7 offensive rating while generating seven steals, and the Heat's 111.0 offensive rating proved sufficient despite New York's 52 rebounds to Miami's 50. The Knicks' scoring remained flat across quarters—27, 27, 27, and 26 points—signaling an inability to mount the kind of sustained run needed to overcome Miami's second-quarter surge. The result marks a solid early-season win for the Heat's defensive identity.
