Heat take care of business with 121-111 victory over Raptors, with greater challenges ahead

MIAMI – Are the Miami Heat the NBA’s version of the Miami Dolphins?

For at least one more game, the Heat certainly would be willing to follow on that track.

Showing an ability to look closer to their best against second-tier opposition, the Heat for the second consecutive game pushed aside a team at the bottom of the standings, this time following up Wednesday night’s road victory over the Charlotte Hornets with a 121-111 victory Friday night against the Toronto Raptors at Kaseya Center.

Up next for the Heat? The now 5-15 Raptors on Sunday night in a rematch at Scotiabank Center.
