Miles McBride

The time hadn’t arrived just yet for the New York Knicks to blow past the Miami Heat for the game-changing, blink-of-an-eye run that ultimately ensured victory, but in the second quarter, Miles McBride left behind a clue — and a defender — or two. Responding to the Heat's made basket just seconds later, McBride speeds the floor, positioning himself to avoid a set defense with only a backpedaling Dru Smith standing in his path. Knowing just the move, McBride utilizes an in-and-out dribble to turbo past Miami’s third-year guard before springing into a one-handed in-traffic flush. Following in the lead of their bucket-getting reserve guard, the Knicks found similar lightning-quick success on the scoreboard, turning a 13-point second half deficit into a nine-point victory on October 30, 2024. Dynamic when called upon, McBride offered his share through 10 points, three rebounds, two assists, two steals, one block, and a pair of 3-pointers.
