MIAMI — The Knicks have felt comfortably clear of the NBA’s play-in cutoff for a few weeks, but they squandered an important head-to-head opportunity Wednesday night to move that much closer towards clinching a proper playoff berth.
RJ Barrett scored 26 points, Jalen Brunson had 25 and Quentin Grimes added 22, including six made 3-pointers, for the Knicks, who also lead the sixth-place Nets by two games entering Thursday’s visit to Orlando. The Knicks trailed by as many as 11 in the third quarter and by six entering the fourth, but early 3-pointers by Barrett and Josh Hart pulled them within three.
But two long-range buckets by Herro and another by Max Strus put the Heat up by 12 with 3:54 remaining.Barrett’s corner trey off Randle’s ninth assist got the Knicks within five with 42 seconds to go, but Butler and Kyle Lowry sank two free throws apiece to seal it.
