MIAMI (SportsDirect Inc.) — The Toronto Raptors are firmly established in second place in the Eastern Conference while the Miami Heat have surrendered their spot in the top four. The Heat will try to find enough healthy bodies to compete when they visit the Raptors on Friday.
Miami finished the game with just eight healthy players on Wednesday and went down weakly in a 106-87 loss at Washington. The setback marked the third in a row and the sixth in seven for the Heat, who are averaging 80 points in the last three contests.
