Miami Heat's season ends with 116-89 loss to the Toronto Raptors in Game 7

In the end, the Heat's small ball lineup wasn't enough to topple the hot-shooting Raptors at home.

The Miami Heat were eliminated from the 2016 NBA Playoffs with a 116-89 loss to the Toronto Raptors in Game 7 on Sunday, unable to overcome a combined 63 points from the backcourt of Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan. Toronto and Miami shot about the same from the field, but the Raptors took 20 more free throw attempts and out-rebounded the "micro small" Heat by 20, including a 20-7 edge on the offensive glass which allowed them to attempt 13 more shots.
