What TV channel is Knicks-Heat Game 6 on tonight? Live stream, how to watch online, time
The New York Knicks look to stave off elimination Friday, May 12, in Game 6 of their Eastern Conference semifinals playoff series when they travel to face the Miami Heat. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial).
New York guards Jalen Brunson and Quentin Grimes played an entire elimination game with no rest, just to extend their season.
And Miami’s Jimmy Butler — even after being on the losing end of that effort — tipped his cap out of respect.
At this time of year, whatever it takes. It’s why Brunson and Grimes are playing 48 minutes, why Butler is playing through ankle soreness.
Miami coach Erik Spoelstra has raved about the level of competition in the Heat-Knicks series, and expects more of the same in Game 6. The Heat wasted a close-out chance in Game 5 at New York, but have a chance at home Friday to finish the series and get to the East finals for the third time in four years.
The Heat missed 30 3-pointers, got outrebounded 50-34, were outscored 59-30 over an 18-minute stretch of Game 5 — and still only lost to the Knicks by nine. That all means there are many ways for Miami to improve in Game 6, though the Heat know that New York will be incredibly desperate again in an effort to stave off elimination.
When is the Heat-Knicks Game 6?
The Miami Heat and New York Knicks play at 6:30 p.m. (7:30 p.m. ET) on Friday, May 12.
