Canada's Barrett pours in career-high 46 points in Knicks' loss to Heat

Tyler Herro scored 25 points, Jimmy Butler had 23 and the Miami Heat overcame RJ Barrett's career-high 46 points to beat the New York Knicks 115-100 on Friday night in New York.

Kyle Lowry added 19 points in the Heat's first game after the All-Star break after they were tied with Chicago for the best record in the Eastern Conference going into it. Bam Adebayo finished with 16 points and 16 rebounds.

Miami started a little slowly in the resumption of its schedule, then shut down most of the Knicks beyond Barrett and relied on its balance to run its road winning streak to a season-high six games.

With Herro, one of the NBA's best reserves this season, and Caleb Martin back after being sidelined with injuries before the break, Miami's bench provided too much depth for a Knicks team that had little besides Barrett.

"It was great to see that unit back together," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "Guys are healthy and gave us a really good boost."
