Knicks pull away late without Randle to beat Heat

NEW YORK — Tom Thibodeau stuck with the same five players, three off his bench, for the entire fourth quarter of a key victory.

Those guys may need to keep producing in the clutch if the New York Knicks have to play for long without Julius Randle.

Immanuel Quickley scored 24 points, Quentin Grimes had 23 and the Knicks moved closer to a postseason berth with a 101-92 victory Wednesday night that sent the Miami Heat closer to the play-in tournament.

Josh Hart added 13 for the Knicks, who overcame the loss of Randle to a sprained left ankle to win their second straight and remained firmly in fifth place in the Eastern Conference.
