After Action Report
The Heat snuck past the Raptors 98-93. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. Heat's defenders refused to give up clean looks; Raptors' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. The Raptors rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
