A former Duke basketball star missed a game-tying buzzer beater on Tuesday night.

In a season that has been mostly filled with positives, former Duke basketball standout RJ Barrett couldn’t come through in the clutch moment for the New York Knicks (11-15) on Tuesday night against the Miami Heat (10-14).

In the second game of a home-and-home with the defending Eastern Conference Champions, the Knicks found themselves in a familiar situation of not being able to hold a fourth quarter lead.
