The lead was shaky at times.

The shooting went cold

The building got tense.

There were moments when the Miami Heat looked like they were about to get themselves into trouble.

And they found a way — again.

The unpredictable ride of the eighth-seeded Heat continues

with Miami on the brink of yet another trip to

the Eastern Conference finals. Jimmy Butler had 27 points and 10 assists,

Bam Adebayo finished with 23 points and 13 rebounds and

the Heat topped the New York Knicks 109-101 on Monday night.
