Miami Heat have extended their lead to 3-0 over the New York Knicks in their play-off series following an 87-70 win at Madison Square Garden.
Lebron James finished with 32 points and eight rebounds to leave Miami one game away from winning the series.
The first two quarters were played out in an even fashion, with Carmello Anthony standing out for a Knicks side still without the injured Jeremy Lin and Amare Stoudemire.
Both teams were not at their best in the match and Miami did not assert their dominance untill the latter stages of the third quarter.
James showed his brilliance at the beginning of the fourth as the former Cleveland small forward scored eight points in a row without reply.
The Heat started to move into full flow towards the end of the quarter and Mario Chalmers hit three consecutive three-point shots to put the game beyond the Knicks.
Dwayne Wade contributed to Miami's cause with 20 points and the Heat can wrap up the play-off with a series sweep on Sunday.
