TORONTO – Winning once in Toronto this season was a neat feat for the Heat. Winning twice there, against a team that’s No. 1 in the East and 24-4 at home, was apparently too much to expect.
Overwhelmed by a late third-quarter Raptors blitz, the Heat staged a furious late rally but ultimately fell for the sixth time in seven games, losing 115-112 at Air Canada Centre.
With the game tied at 77, the Raptors unleashed a 21-4 run in the final 4:16 of the third to go to the fourth ahead, 98-81.
Down by double digits most of the fourth, Miami drew to within three with 56 seconds left after a three-pointer and a jumper from Goran Dragic, then to within two on a Wayne Ellington three with six seconds to go.
