In the NBA regular season, the Knicks lost to the Heat 107-115 in an away game. Heat president Pat Riley was on hand to watch the game.

When the broadcast was shown to Pat Riley, Walter Frazier, who is now a guest commentator for the Knicks, said: "Pat entered the league the same year as me, and he was guarding me on the court. That's why he later became a coach."

Walter Frazier and Pat Riley entered the league at the same time in 1968. Frazier was selected by the Knicks with the 5th overall pick, and Riley was selected by the Rockets with the 7th overall pick.
