Knicks must overcome Heat and history in Miami
MIAMI — These are the kinds of statistics that don’t mean anything until they mean everything.
On March 13, 1959, the Syracuse Nats walked into the 69th Regiment Armory on Lexington Avenue and 25th Street and laid a 129-123 beating on the Knicks. Dolph Schayes dropped 35 points for the visitors, Richie Guerin 22 for the Knicks. There was a standing-room only crowd of 5,160 on hand to watch the Knicks play their first playoff home game in four years. Two days later, the Nets closed the Knicks out upstate, at the Onondaga War Memorial, 131-115, sweeping the best-of-three.
The Knicks pushed Reggie Miller and the Indiana Pacers to seven games after losing Game 1 at Madison Square Garden in 1995 — the only time they’ve done so after losing Game 1 of a series at home.
