The Heat moved closer to escaping play-in tournament range by beating the Knicks on Wednesday night.
The Knicks cut what was a 12-point deficit with 3:54 left down to five on a 3-pointer by Barrett with 42.2 seconds remaining.
New York shot 71% in the fourth — but allowed Miami to shoot 67% in that period, and the Heat were 6 for 7 on 3's in the final quarter.
