The Miami Heat dismantled the Knicks, 100-67, in game one of their first round playoff series on Saturday.
Miami's swarming defense had New York's scorers settling for jump shots for much of the game, as evidenced by the massive (33-11) disparity in free-throw attempts. LeBron James probably won himself a few defensive player of the year votes with his work on Carmelo Anthony; 'Melo managed just 11 points on 3-15 shooting in the game. James also led all scorers with 32 points, as Miami built up a big second quarter lead and coasted through the second half.
New York also lost guard Iman Shumpert to a knee injury in the third quarter; unconfirmed reports suggest Shumpert has a torn ACL.
