Game Pulse
During Knicks games this hero goes live (ESPN, every 20 s). Otherwise: every play of the game, replayed in 30 seconds from ESPN play-by-play. Line = Knicks lead; strip under it = ESPN win probability (orange above 50%). Lights and particles fire on real Knicks baskets; bigger on runs.

Heat check · 3D
Shot spots and makes/misses: ESPN play-by-play (a few shots have no location and are left off; free throws not shown). Arcs show where each shot went up from, not its real flight. Heat towers group shots into 3-ft hexagons: height = attempts, colour = FG% (blue cold, orange hot; spots with under 4 shots fade toward grey); tap one for its numbers. Attempts can differ by one from ESPN's box score where its play-by-play does. Clutch = last 5 minutes of the 4th or OT, score within 5.
