Knocked to the floor and hobbled in a must-win Game 5, Quentin Grimes’ refusal to lose outweighed everything else. With the Miami Heat holding a commanding 3-1 semifinals lead, it was all-hands-on-deck for Grimes and the New York Knicks with the second-year guard entrenched in the action for all 48 minutes. With a six-point lead and less than two minutes to play in regulation, a limping Grimes picked himself off the hardwood following a collision and gutted through a resilient defensive stop, sticking to Jimmy Butler like glue before picking his pocket and coming away with a tide-turning steal. Grimes’ gutsy performance of eight points, four rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks helped the Knicks secure a 112-103 win on May 10, 2023, cutting Miami’s lead to 3-2 as the series shifted back to South Florida.
