The Knicks’ offense struggled in Game 3 against the Heat and ESPN NBA analyst Jalen Rose thinks he knows why.
After New York shot a woeful 34.1% from the field on Saturday, as well as 20% (eight of 40) from three-point range, Rose boldly attributed their struggles from beyond the arc to a lack of acclimation to the heat in Miami, and he wasn’t talking about their on-court opponents in Game 3.
“When you’re the road team, you gotta pay attention to that weather and that heat. It effects the endurance of your muscles and causes tiredness. If you notice the Knicks, in particular, are making shots in the paint, but they’re missing shots outside of the paint, in particular, from three,” said Rose.
