In Miami the All-Star Trio was too much for the Knicks. Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh combined for 67 total points. Lebron was close to a triple-double. The Heat lead most of the game with a defensive shutdown on Jeremy Lin, the point guard everyone has been raving about. Too many turnovers cost Lin and the Knicks the possible victory. Carmelo Anthony did his best yet it wasn't enough to hold off the strong Heat attack lead by James.
During the second half the Knicks also needed to foul less. As the result the Heat Superstars made it count at the line when it mattered most. With the All-Star break coming up the Heat are atop the league in first place where the Knicks have to recuperate after dropping a few games whereas they were winners of 7 in a row with their resurgent offense.
