Jeremy Lin was no match for the Miami Heat.

Forcing Lin into easily the worst game of his remarkable run as New York's starting point guard by running streams of defenders at him, Miami topped the Knicks 102-88 on Thursday night – the eighth straight win for the NBA-leading Heat, all of those wins coming by at least 12 points.

Chris Bosh scored 25 points, Dwyane Wade added 22 and LeBron James finished with 20 points, nine rebounds and eight assists for Miami, which will go into the All-Star break with the NBA's best record (27-7).

Lin's final line: 1 for 11 from the field, eight points, three assists – a far cry from the 23.9 points and 9.2 assists he had been averaging over his first 11 games in the Knicks' rotation, when he breathed immeasurable life into a team that was floundering.

On Thursday, he simply wasn't the same player, turning the ball over eight times. His last miss came with 6 seconds left, the outcome already decided, and he simply walked quietly off the court into the locker room.

Carmelo Anthony led the Knicks with 19 points, with J.R. Smith scoring 14 for New York off the bench.

If proof was needed that the Heat wanted to make a point against Lin, there was some clear evidence.

【NBA快訊】北京時(shí)間2月24日，NBA迎來焦點(diǎn)之戰(zhàn)，熱火在主場(chǎng)迎來了近來狀態(tài)神勇的尼克斯隊(duì)的挑戰(zhàn)。對(duì)于最近表現(xiàn)火爆的林書豪來說，熱火三巨頭無疑是最貨真價(jià)實(shí)的煉金石。熱火隊(duì)更是在賽前放下狠話，決不讓林書豪得分超過10分。

熱火全隊(duì)通過侵略性十足的防守實(shí)現(xiàn)了這句豪言。小皇帝詹姆斯親自防守，全場(chǎng)比賽林書豪11投1中，只得到8分6個(gè)籃板3次助攻3次搶斷，還出現(xiàn)了8次失誤。尼克斯最終以88比102輸給了熱火，熱火三巨頭聯(lián)手砍下67分。

熱火對(duì)林書豪的防守堪稱完美，林書豪與小甜瓜安東尼的默契也有待培養(yǎng)。相信從這場(chǎng)比賽中，林書豪能學(xué)到很多寶貴的經(jīng)驗(yàn)，對(duì)于一個(gè)菜鳥控衛(wèi)來說，這是他在NBA必須經(jīng)歷的。勝敗乃兵家常事，林書豪的NBA之路還很長。
