The Miami Heat are one win away from reaching the Eastern Conference Finals for the third time in four years.

Miami defeated the New York Knicks 109-101 in Game 4 of their second-round playoff series on Monday to seize a commanding 3-1 lead. It seemed like the Knicks were poised to perhaps advance past the second round for the first time in 23 years when they won Game 2, but the Heat have full control of the series after winning back-to-back contests at home.

Jimmy Butler continued his playoff heroics with 27 points, 10 assists, six rebounds, two steals and two blocks in a brilliant two-way display.
