The Knicks improved in the lockout-shortened 2011-12 NBA season, in part due to the acquisition of point guard Jeremy Lin. The Knicks-Heat game scheduled prior to the All-Star break (the last game for both teams before the break) was billed as giving the rivalry new life, with the average price of resold seats going for $600 and courtside seats going for $8,000. The Heat beat the Knicks 102–88 in Miami, and eventually swept the season series 3–0. The two teams eventually met in the 2012 NBA Playoffs, their first playoff meeting since 2000.
