The Knicks sounded hopeful about Jeremy Lin's return -- and that was before Monday night's debacle.
The New York Knicks lost a game, then might have lost their center right after. Dwyane Wade scored 25 points, Chris Bosh added 21 and the Miami Heat beat New York 104-94 on Monday night, sending the Knicks to an NBA-record-tying 12th straight postseason loss.
Right now, the Knicks are still in the series. It was small mistakes that led to the avalanche Saturday, not some fatal flaw. Correct those things and this series can still go a long way.
As the Heat vaporized New York, you learned a few things. Miami has two players better than Carmelo Anthony. Miami wants it more. And the Knicks are soft. Yes, soft.

The Knicks were dealt a blow on the scoreboard and to their roster as Iman Shumpert was carried off the court. The Knicks were defeated by the Heat 100-67 in Game 1.

This time the Knicks are searching for their first postseason win in nearly 11 years, and the Heat are out to prove a point after last year's NBA Finals loss.
