The thrilling ingredients of the Knicks’ season-saving win can be a blueprint

If there’s a lasting sequence from Game 5, it’s the run.

The Knicks trailed by 10 after the first quarter at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night, and then exploded on an 18-2 burst across the opening 2:54 of the second frame to save their season.

We’re not talking about the Knicks’ season in the present tense on Thursday morning otherwise.

But if there’s a lasting image from Game 5, a microcosm for these Knicks who sent the series back to Miami with a 112-103 victory, it’s the steal.
