It was a close game and a dramatic one because that’s what the Raptors and Miami Heat do, and it doesn’t matter who is playing or who isn’t or whether Kyle Lowry is central to the emotion of the night or not.
It’s two good teams who play hard and bring out the best of each other, and they did it again Sunday night at Scotiabank Arena.
A three-point blitz in the fourth quarter powered the Heat to a 114-109 victory over the Raptors in Lowry’s return to Canada and snapped Toronto’s five-game winning streak.
