In the wake of a wild scene Sunday night outside of AmericanAirlines Arena, Charles Barkley has been granted Game 4 refuge from rabid Miami Heat fans.

With TNT's studio crew broadcasting outside the arena following the Heat's 96-85 victory over the Chicago Bullsin Game 3 of the NBA Eastern Conference finals, Barkley became the focus of intense jeering and other acts of derision in the wake of his recent criticism of the Heat.

Because of that, a Turner Sports official Monday told the Sun Sentinel that the TNT studio show will originate all of its programming from inside AmericanAirlines Arena for Tuesday's Game 4.

Having called the Heat a "whiny bunch" earlier in this best-of-seven series, which the Heat now lead 2-1, Barkley playfully responded to Sunday's chants at one point with a middle-finger salute from each raised hand.
