TORONTO — In an exciting matchup on Friday night, Tyler Herro took charge in the later moments, contributing 10 of his 28 points during the fourth quarter and overtime, leading the Miami Heat to a 120-111 victory over the Toronto Raptors, thus ending their four-game losing streak.

Bam Adebayo also made a significant impact for Miami, recording a double-double with 19 points and 12 rebounds. Guard Davion Mitchell, facing his former team after a recent trade, added 16 points to the scoreboard. Duncan Robinson further supported the team with 14 points, marking Miami’s first win since February 5 against Philadelphia.

This contest was the final meeting of the season between the Heat and Raptors, and it notably marked the first road victory for Miami in this series. RJ Barrett led the way for Toronto with 29 points, while Immanuel Quickley added 23 and Scottie Barnes contributed 13 points. Gradey Dick also played a noteworthy role, achieving a career-high 10 rebounds despite the Raptors experiencing their sixth defeat in the last seven games.

As the game progressed, both Barnes and Adebayo had missed key shots during their teams’ last attempts in regulation. Wiggins attempted to convert Adebayo’s missed shot into a tip-in, but Barrett managed to block it, thereby extending the competition into overtime.

In the extra period, Adebayo scored six, marking a pivotal part of Miami’s win on the road for the first time this season in extra time. Toronto saw Barnes exit the game limping late in the first quarter due to a right ankle injury, but he received a warm welcome from fans upon returning midway through the second quarter.

A crucial moment occurred when the Raptors managed to erase a 14-point deficit, even taking the lead in the waning moments of regulation. However, Wiggins brought Miami back by nailing three free throws after Barrett committed a critical foul, ultimately tying the game at 107.

A key statistic from the night highlighted that Miami’s head coach, Erik Spoelstra, secured his 886th career victory, surpassing Red Auerbach and moving into third place in the all-time rankings among coaches with a single franchise. Gregg Popovich remains at the top with 1,582 wins, followed by Jerry Sloan with 1,223.

Looking ahead, both teams are scheduled to play on Sunday, with Miami set to face the Milwaukee Bucks and the Raptors welcoming the Phoenix Suns.
