A second-half 3-point barrage from Victor Oladipo and Max Strus propelled the Erik Spoelstra-less Miami Heat to a 111-103 victory over the Toronto Raptors in Kyle Lowry’s return to Toronto Sunday.
Oladipo and Strus canned 13 of Miami’s 18 total triples and accounted for 10 of its 12 second-half 3-point makes. Strus tallied a team-high 23 points with seven 3-pointers (on nine attempts). Oladipo set a Heat-career high in points (23) and 3-pointers (6), in addition to four assists and two steals.
Trailing by 10 at halftime, Miami outscored Toronto by 11 in the third quarter (34-23) and 15 in the game’s final 24 minutes (69-54).
