LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. —
The Raptors, who were slotted into Monday's matinee spot because of the holiday in most of Canada, led for most of the afternoon and broke the game open with a 20-7 third-quarter run that put them up by 17 points. But Miami sliced the difference to 84-79 with one quarter to play. Lowry then drove hard to the hoop and missed, before giving officials an earful about what he thought was a missed call. Miami turned the ball over with 17.4 seconds left, Marc Gasol missed one of two free throws, but then VanVleet got his hand on Butler's pass to seal the victory.The Raptors had been stifled by the Heat's zone defence in two low-scoring losses previously this season — 90-83 in Toronto on Nov. 29, and 84-76 at Miami on Jan. 2.
Miami had a brief lead in the second, but the Raptors regained momentum with an 11-2 run, punctuated by a Lowry block on Herro's layup attempt, and capped by a Powell three. The Raptors led 48-44 at halftime.
