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. Bojan Bogdanovic scored 16 for New York. The Knicks rallied from 21 points down in the fourth quarter to beat Miami on Nov. 24 and nearly pulled off another big comeback — until Rozier delivered in the biggest moment for the Heat.
The Heat remained 1 1/2 games ahead of Philadelphia for No. 7 in the East; the 76ers visit Miami on Thursday.
