Raptors beat the Heat 115-112, despite falling apart late

It’s an imperfect comparison, but the Heat are something like the Bizarro version of the Raptors. Both have annoyingly relentless point guards, skilled swing men (even if one is well on the downside of his career), lumbering centres, ultra green light shooters, and a surfeit of kinetic young players. Both teams play hard, fast, and, for the most part, with discipline — and despite some ugly games score-wise, they tend to bring out the best (or worst?) in each other. That Toronto won Tuesday night’s contest 115-112 doesn’t mean they’ll win next time, or vice versa.
