The Miami Heat took on the Toronto Raptors on Friday night. Miami came in the game losing three out of four games and the Raptors having a record of 5-7. I personally thought it was going to be a competitive game, but the Heat would come on top at the end of the day. Things didn't turn out to be a W for the Heat, but another L in the lost column.
Toronto, coming into the game, was allowing 107.8 points per game and it showed why they are struggling in defense. Even with the defeat, the Heat managed to score 113 points against the Raptors, but it was Toronto who had the explosive offense that night.
Despite Dwayne Wade and Mario Chalmers scoring 30 points each and the Heat cutting the lead to one with with less than 4 minutes left, the Raptors showed that they were not going to let Wade takeover the game.
Andrea Bargnani, who scored 24 points, hit a deadly three and backup point guard Jarret Jack scored 12 of his 17 points in the fourth quarter and made two important 3's to help stand Miami's comeback.
Raptors star forward, Chris Bosh, scored 29 points with 12 rebounds. Heat center Jermaine O'Neal finished 17 points and Michael Beasley had a solid 21 points.
Udonis Haslem and Quentin Richardson did not play and this may be a reason why the Heat are struggling after starting strong.
Chris Bosh is another star player who is a free agent after this season and for the past years, there have been rumors that Bosh might have a home in Miami after this season. Would that be enough for D.Wade to stay?
