After a tough loss against the Phoenix Suns, in which Crawford scored a team-high 29 points, the New York Knicks were back at home and hosting the Miami Heat, who were coming off a two-point loss against the Indiana Pacers.

Crawford scored a career-high 52 points and the Heat got blown out by the Knicks.

The three-time Sixth Man of the Year did not have a great start to the game and scored just 3 points in the first quarter. However, he was quick enough to turn the tables and scored as many as 20 points in the second quarter, and the Knicks went into halftime with a 65-49 lead.

It is noteworthy to mention that the Knicks went on a 25-8 run to close the second quarter.

Crawford took his red-hot form into the third quarter and scored 23 points to torch the Heat. He finished the game with 52 points on 20-for-30 shooting, and the Knicks cruised to an easy 116-96 victory over the Heat.
