Takeaways

Raptors: Bruce Brown, who has yet to play this season following right knee surgery, continues conditioning toward his debut. “We don’t want to rush anything. It’s very important for him to get his health right, conditioning right,” Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic said.

Heat: Butler is shooting 61% in his last five games — 35 for 57 in that span since he returned from a four-game absence with a sprained ankle.

Key moment

Toronto went on a 12-0 run to take a 79-77 lead. Miami immediately answered with a 19-2 run to take a 96-81 edge with 43.7 seconds left in the third quarter and never trailed again.

Key stat

It was the first game in Heat history where the team used at least 10 players and all of them took two or more shots from 3-point range. There had been three other games in club history where at least 10 Miami players took two 3s — but not everyone who played on those nights did so.

Up next

The teams face off again Sunday in Toronto.
