HEAT 97, KNICKS 78

NEW YORK (AP) _ Gerald Green scored a season-high 25 points while starting in place of Luol Deng, and the Heat earned their second victory over the Knicks this week.

Chris Bosh added 20 points and Dwyane Wade had 17 for the Heat, who held the Knicks to 78 points in both victories over the last six nights.

Green showed off his entire repertoire during a superb fourth-quarter stretch that turned the game into a blowout and sent the Heat to their eighth straight victory over the Knicks, their longest winning streak in the series.

Carmelo Anthony and Kristaps Porzingis each scored 11 points for New York in its third straight loss.
