MIAMI — Amid its seemingly non-stop coverage of all things New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers, ESPN was courteous enough to offer some prime time Wednesday night to the Miami Heat.
Considering what the Heat did against LeBron James and the Lakers for most of Sunday’s matchup and how they managed to quiet the Knicks’ snowbird following for most of Wednesday night, the respect for Erik Spoelstra’s team only figures to grow.
This time it was going up by 30 in the third period on the way to a 110-96 victory at FTX Arena, the Heat’s eighth victory in their last 10 games.
