After Action Report

In Toronto, the Heat snuck past the Raptors 119-115 in overtime. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Heat stayed locked in. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
