Lillard’s free throws lift Blazers over Heat, 125-122

The Miami Heat looked to be in good shape midway through the fourth quarter against the Portland Trail-Blazers. Though they had just nine available players — after their two deadline trades, another absence for Goran Dragic and a stomach bug for Jimmy Butler — Miami’s 3-point shooting was on. Gabe Vincent, Andre Iguodala and Tyler Herro made three consecutive 3s to open up a lead that crested at 110-100.

But then Portland went on an 11-0 run to retake the lead. The Heat’s offensive woes came back at the worst possible time, including some questionable decisions.
