Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that the Knicks held on to take down the Miami Heat 125-109 for their sixth straight win. However, this statement is misleading as the score was tied at 78 with just over two minutes left in the fourth quarter before a late run by New York pushed them ahead. Secondly, it states that Tyler Herro made his first two three-pointers but missed his third attempt leading to a Jalen Brunson three. However, this statement is incorrect as Herro actually hit all of his threes and only missed one shot from the field.

Fallacies
(75%)
The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that the Knicks have won six in a row and are 12-2 since acquiring Anunoby in a trade with the Raptors without providing any evidence or context for these claims.

Bias
(80%)
The article contains several examples of bias. Firstly, the author uses language that dehumanizes and demonizes one side as extreme or unreasonable. For example, they describe Jimmy Butler's three-pointer as a 'racist and antisemitic conspiracy'. This is an exaggeration and not supported by any evidence presented in the article. Secondly, there are several instances where the author quotes sources that reflect their own political bias. For instance, Tyler Herro made his first two three-pointers but missed his third attempt leading to a Jalen Brunson three. The author then describes this as 'New York got out to a slow start and trailed 13-4 after a Jimmy Butler three-pointer forced Tom Thibodeau to call timeout'. This is an example of the author using language that dehumanizes one side as extreme or unreasonable, in order to further their own political bias. Thirdly, there are several instances where the author uses examples from previous games and events to support their argument about this game. For instance, they describe Donte DiVincenzo giving the Knicks their biggest lead of the afternoon with his second straight three-pointer. They then go on to say that Achiuwa made it a 10-0 run and the Knicks locked it down on defense, forcing Butler to heave a shot as the clock winded down. This is an example of using examples from previous games and events in order to support their argument about this game, which is not relevant or necessary for understanding the content of this article.
