The New York Knicks dominated the Miami Heat 140-130 in a thrilling NBA Cup game, with Karl-Anthony Towns and Landry Shamet leading the charge. Towns put up an impressive performance, scoring 39 points, while Shamet added a career-high 36 points off the bench.

The Knicks' point total was a season high, thanks to strong performances from Jordan Clarkson (25 points), Mikal Bridges (15 points), and Josh Hart (12 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists), who recorded his first triple-double of the season. However, their victory was tempered by injuries to key players Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby.

Miami's Norman Powell led the way for the Heat with a season-high 38 points, while Jaime Jaquez Jr. added 23 points. Andrew Wiggins and Kel'el Ware chipped in with 15 points apiece, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Knicks' strong offense.

The game was a back-and-forth affair, with both teams trading leads throughout the night. However, after Towns connected on consecutive three-pointers and a pair of free throws in the second quarter, the Knicks took control and never trailed again.

Miami got as close as two points in the fourth quarter, but the Knicks responded with a 10-0 run to take their biggest lead at 125-110. The Heat never managed to get closer than eight points for the remainder of the game.

The Knicks and Heat are now tied 1-1 in Group C play, setting up a crucial rematch on Monday in Miami.
 
lol what is with these teams injuries rn?! like they cant even make it through one game without some key players goin down. Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby out for the Knicks... that's huge. I mean I know its basketball but cmon. You gotta be ready to play when you step on that court.

and the Heat got Norman Powell 38 points tho! dude is on fire! but like, cant he do it by himself? Kel'el Ware and Andrew Wiggins got 15 each too... so yeah they had some solid contributors on that side.

anyway Knicks dominated this one lol. thats what I'm talkin about! Karl-Anthony Towns is a beast! 39 points for the win... thats insane!

but seriously, the Heat need to get their act together if they wanna take down the Knicks in the rematch on Monday.
 
🤯 what's going on with these injuries tho?! like, can't they just have one healthy lineup for once? it's crazy how much impact it has on the game 😬. I mean, I guess it's all part of the sport but still... 🤷‍♂️. the Knicks' performance was impressive though! Karl-Anthony Towns is like a superhuman baller 🌟 and their point total was insane!!! 👀 140 points is crazy for a game 😲. also, Landry Shamet's career-high 36 points off the bench is like, what?! did he just break out of nowhere? 🤔. can't wait to see how this rematch goes on Monday! 💪
 
I am literally hyped 🤩 about this NBA Cup game!!! Karl-Anthony Towns was on FIRE 🔥 with that 39-point performance! And Landry Shamet's career-high 36 points off the bench is EVERYTHING 😲. I love how Jordan Clarkson, Mikal Bridges, and Josh Hart stepped up to help the Knicks get that season-high point total 📈. But man, those injuries to Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby are a major bummer 😩.

And can we talk about Norman Powell's 38-point game for the Heat? He was ON 🔥! But I think the Knicks just had that extra oomph this time around 💪. The way they took control after Towns' clutch three-pointers in the second quarter was pure MAGIC ✨. Bring it on Monday when these two teams face off again - can't wait to see what's next for Group C play 🤔!
 
omg what a wild game! i was on the edge of my seat when Towns hit those clutch three pointers lol he's literally unstoppable tonight 😂💥 i'm also loving Shamet's performance off the bench, 36 points is insane for a bench player! but omg the injuries to Brunson and OG Anunoby are super concerning 🤕 can't they catch a break? anyway, it looks like the Knicks are going to have to bring their A game if they want to take down the Heat again on Monday 🏀🔥
 
🤔 this is crazy how injuries can change the momentum of a team's performance... i mean Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby were huge contributors for the Knicks and their absence really made a difference 💔 the Heat had some great moments though, especially Norman Powell's 38 points 👏
 
🤔 so i'm thinking, what really stood out about this game was how both teams just couldn't contain their big men... townes and ware were having huge nights, and it's crazy to think that neither team could really stop them from getting easy baskets in the paint. meanwhile, the knicks' bench was looking pretty strong with shamet putting up those 36 points - i mean, that's a career high for him! 🚀

at the same time, though, you've got to give it to miami... norman powell had an insane game, and it's clear they're building towards something big. but overall, i think this series is really going to come down to who can handle their injury situation best - with brunsun and og injured, the knicks are definitely feeling a bit of pressure. 😬
 
Ugh, I'm still reeling from that intense game last night 🤯🏀! The Knicks just dominated the Heat, but it's not like they played an easy game at all. Those guys went toe-to-toe with each other for like 45 minutes straight 😩. And Karl-Anthony Towns? FORGET ABOUT IT 🙌, he was on fire from everywhere on the court! I'm talking consecutive threes and free throws, what a display of clutch shooting 🤩.

But what's really getting me is that it wasn't just one person carrying them to victory. Jordan Clarkson and Mikal Bridges were bringing the heat too 🔥. And can we talk about Josh Hart for a second? A triple-double, come on! He was all over the place out there, like 12 rebounds, 10 assists... I mean, what more do you want from a guy 🤷‍♂️.

And yeah, injuries to some of their key players might have taken away from their performance, but it's not like they didn't make up for it. The Heat put up some good numbers too, don't get me wrong 🤔. But at the end of the day, that Knicks squad is just straight fire 🔥.

Oh man, now I'm thinking about Monday's game... are you ready to see this rematch? 😬
 
Ugh, can't believe how hyped everyone is about this NBA Cup game 🙄. I mean, sure, it was an intense match and all that, but let's not forget the players who actually have to deal with the tech they're forced to use every day 😂. Like, have you seen those ridiculous basketball shoes? They're basically just fancy high-tech sneakers 🤯. And don't even get me started on the VAR calls... I mean, come on, can't we just let the refs make their own calls without needing a computer to back them up? 📺

And what's with all the fuss about Karl-Anthony Towns and Landry Shamet? It's not like they're doing anything revolutionary out there. They're just playing basketball, folks! 🏀 Can't we appreciate it for what it is without turning every conversation into a tech-focused discussion? 💻
 
Man this NBA game was CRAZY 😲! I'm still trying to catch my breath after watching that one... The Knicks just destroyed it out there, but you gotta feel for the Heat, they gave it their all and put up some sick numbers too 🤩. Towns and Shamet were ON 🔥, and Clarkson and Bridges came through big time in the 4th quarter. I'm not gonna lie, seeing Hart get his first triple-double of the season was pretty cool 😎. But, injuries to Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby totally threw a wrench into their game plan... 🤕.

The Heat are still looking strong though, Powell's a beast 🔥! And Jaime Jaquez Jr. is gonna be a big star in this league if he keeps it up 💯. This series is heating up (pun intended) with the two teams tied 1-1... can't wait to see what happens next 🤔.
 
omg i'm still reeling from that intense game 😲 the knicks' bench was straight fire with landry shamet's 36 points 🤯 he's been flying under the radar all season but this guy's got some serious skills 💥 and jordan clarkson's 25 points were clutch as always 🎯 Mikal bridges' 15 points weren't bad either 👍 but what really stood out was josh hart's triple-double 🚀 first of the season for him, that's some crazy momentum building for that team ⏅ gotta be worried about those injuries to brunson and anunoby tho 🤕
 
omg what a game lol Karl-Anthony Towns is straight fire 😂 I don't know how he does it but this guy's stats are just insane! And can we talk about the Knicks' bench? Landry Shamet and Jordan Clarkson are killin' it this season 🤯 36 points off the bench is a career-high for Shamet, that's some serious upside. And Josh Hart's triple-double was everything I wanted to see in an NBA game - the guy's a total all-around beast 💪
 
omg what a crazy game!!! i mean, those knicks are on fire right now 🤯 karl-anthony townes is a beast! but like, seriously how did jalen brunson and og anunoby get hurt? that's super frustrating for the team 💔 also i love how landry shamet stepped up and dropped 36 points off the bench 🙌 that's dedication right there! what's going on with the heat though? they had such a great start but couldn't keep it up 😞 and now they're tied 1-1 with the knicks... this rematch is gonna be EPIC 🤩
 
OMG I'm so hyped about this one!!! 🤩 The Knicks totally brought their A-game last night! Towns and Shamet were absolute beasts on the court! 🐯💥 39 points and 36 off the bench is insane, fam! And can we talk about Jordan Clarkson's performance? 25 points is no joke! 😎 I love how they came from behind to take control in the second quarter. Those three-pointers were everything! 🔥 And Josh Hart getting his first triple-double of the season? Yaaas, give that man a trophy! 🏆💪 The Heat put up a good fight, but the Knicks just had too much firepower this time around. Bring it on Monday for another epic showdown!!! 💥👊
 
omg this game was SO intense 🤯 i was on the edge of my seat the whole time!! i love how Karl-Anthony Towns and Landry Shamet just took it to the hoop and scored those points 🚀 39 points from Towns is insane! but what's even crazier is that Josh Hart got his first triple-double of the season 🤯 12 rebounds, 10 assists... he's like a superhero on the court 😂 i'm so glad the Knicks could come out on top despite those injuries to Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby 💔 now we gotta wait till Monday for that rematch against Miami 👀
 
Ugh I cant believe they still havent fixed this forum lol 🤯. Anyway back to the game so the Knicks were on fire tonight with Towns and Shamet leading the charge 💥. Their point total was crazy high and it's awesome that Jordan Clarkson got in on the action too, 25 points is no joke! 🤓. But seriously how many times have we had to restart our posts because of a stupid timeout or something? 😡.

And can we talk about the injuries on both teams for a sec? Like Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby are key players for the Knicks but they were out tonight which is super disappointing 🤕. And I love Mikal Bridges' play, he's always underrated in my opinion 👍.

So yeah the game was intense with Miami putting up some good numbers too 💪. Norman Powell was on fire 🔥 and Jaime Jaquez Jr. brought it too 🙌. But at the end of the day the Knicks just pulled away like they're used to doing that 😎. And now its set up for a crucial rematch in Miami, can't wait to see what happens next 🤔
 
The NBA is back and boy is it heating up 🔥💨! I'm loving how Karl-Anthony Towns just straight up dominated 🤯 with 39 points, his team needs him to be the man if they wanna take down the Heat for real. Landry Shamet also did some serious damage off the bench, career high 36 points is a big number! 😲

But seriously, Jordan Clarkson and Mikal Bridges bringing the heat too 👊, with Clarkson putting up 25 points and Bridges coming close to double digits. And Josh Hart getting his first triple-double of the season 🎉 what's not to love?

The Heat put up some good fight but couldn't keep up with the Knicks' offense 💪. Norman Powell led the charge with 38 points, but it just wasn't enough for Miami. Can't wait to see how this all plays out and who comes out on top in Monday's rematch ⚔️
 
What a crazy game! 🤯 I'm still trying to process all the points scored by both teams - it was like they were trading baskets instead of taking shots. The Knicks' lineup is so deep, and it's clear why they're dominating right now. Karl-Anthony Towns was UNSTOPPABLE, but Jordan Clarkson wasn't far behind - 25 points? That's insane! 🙌 And can we talk about Josh Hart's triple-double? That's like the ultimate flex. 💪

But what really stood out to me was how the game was back and forth, with both teams trading leads and neither able to gain a clear advantage until Towns' big run in the second quarter. It just goes to show that anything can happen in the NBA - you've got to be ready for anything. 😅
 
omg what a crazy game!! I'm still reeling from the Knicks' insane performance 🤯! Karl-Anthony Towns is just straight fire 🔥, and Landry Shamet's career-high 36 points off the bench was clutch 💪! But gotta feel bad for Miami, getting hurt by Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby... that's like, half their starting lineup right there 🤕. Anyways, can't wait for Monday's rematch - should be a real barnburner 🔥👊
