MIAMI -- Terry Rozier scored 34 points, capped by a beat-the-shot-clock 3-pointer in the final minute, and the Miami Heat inched closer to an Eastern Conference playoff spot by holding off the New York Knicks 109-99 on Tuesday night.
Jimmy Butler scored 17 points, Bam Adebayo added 15 and Haywood Highsmith finished with 14 for the Heat.
Miami had a 16-point lead cut to one with 3:23 remaining, but found a way to hang on -- and Rozier's eighth 3-pointer of the night with 34 seconds left, just in front of the New York bench, sealed the win.
