Leading 99-92 with 4:13 to go, the Miami Heat ran into an offensive drought at the worst possible time against the Toronto Raptors. At the 1:48 mark, Pascal Siakam jammed home the ball after Fred VanVleet stole the ball from Jimmy Butler. Toronto was within 99-96.
Bam Adebayo was back, but Kyle Lowry missed the game against his former team for personal reasons. And the Heat struggled to get a quality look, especially against the lengthy Toronto defenders. For example, Gabe Vincent and Siakam often guarded each other.
But with 38.2 seconds to go, the Heat had the ball with the score still 99-96.
