Powered by another strong shooting night, the Miami Heat scored a 109-101 Game 4 win over the Knicks on Monday to take a 3-1 series lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals. The No. 8 seed that ousted the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks in the first round now stands one win away from the conference finals.
As usual, Jimmy Butler led the way alongside a co-starring role from Bam Adebayo.
Adebayo got off to a hot start with a 9-point first quarter as Miami took a 32-31 lead. He had 16 at the half as the Heat extended their edge to 56-48. An 11-point third quarter from Butler helped the Heat take a 90-81 lead into the final quarter.
The Heat are 14-0 all-time when leading a best-of-7 series 3-1.
