MIAMI (AP) — A Heat-Knicks game, down to the wire, just like old times.

Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo made sure it wouldn’t get away from Miami.

The duo did all of Miami’s scoring for much of the second half, Butler finishing with a game-high 26 points, and the Heat beat New York 98-96 on Tuesday night to finish off a sweep of a home-and-home series.

“This was more of a throwback Miami Heat-New York Knicks game from the ‘90s, where there weren’t a lot of open shots in the last 14, 16 minutes of the game,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.
