Heat-Raptors Preview

Six weeks ago, the Miami Heat used a second-half surge to bounce back from a loss and beat the Toronto Raptors for the 10th straight time.

They haven't stopped winning since.

Looking to match the second-longest winning streak in NBA history with their 22nd straight victory, the Heat return to where their historic run began Sunday at the Air Canada Centre.

Two days after Miami (50-14) lost 102-89 at Indiana on Feb. 1, LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade combined for 81 points to help overcome a six-point halftime deficit and win 100-85 at Toronto on Super Bowl Sunday. It was a more convincing showing than the Heat's 123-116 overtime home win over the Raptors (26-40) on Jan. 23, and it proved to be the start of a remarkable run.

Following the victory, the Heat watched the Super Bowl and bonded.

"I think the biggest thing for our team was watching the Super Bowl and getting away from basketball in a sense and just enjoying each other," Wade said. "We got the famous speech from (teammate) Shane Battier and we've been rolling ever since."

Though details are sketchy, Battier's speech was apparently inspirational.

"You had to be there," Bosh said. "It was after watching the Super Bowl. It was a good game, we had a great time. I guess the main focus was that you're going to miss me when I'm gone."

Bosh continued.

"It was not so much about him. He tied in everything. He tied in life to the Super Bowl. It was just everything. It was a good time."

The good times keep coming for the Heat, who surpassed the 1970-71 Bucks' run of 20 straight wins, fittingly, with a 107-94 win at Milwaukee on Friday.

Averaging 105.3 points on 50.8 percent shooting while allowing 93.9 over the past 21 contests, Miami is one victory away from equaling Houston's 22-game run from 2007-08. The 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers hold the record with 33 consecutive victories.

"You have to enjoy it," said Bosh, who had 28 points on 12-of-16 shooting Friday. "We don't want to be in a position where we're not and then we look back and say, `I wish we would have done this. I wish we would have done that.' We're having a blast together, which is most important.

"To put some wins together, to have a chance at winning an NBA title and defending an NBA title is very special."

The Heat got a scare Friday when Wade briefly left with a neck strain after crashing to the floor early in the contest. He returned and finished with 20 points, nine assists and seven rebounds to help Miami to a ninth straight road victory.

Wade has averaged 25.3 points on 58.2 percent shooting over the last 12 games, and 31.9 in his last nine at Toronto. James, meanwhile, has scored 29.4 per contest and shot 56.6 percent in his last seven in the series.

Since leaving the Raptors for Miami in 2010, Bosh has averaged 27.7 points on 30-of-53 shooting (56.6 percent) in three visits to Toronto. The Raptors have dropped four straight at home to the Heat by an average of 13.3 points.

Rudy Gay scored 28 while Amir Johnson added 12 and a career-high 21 rebounds as Toronto beat NBA-worst Charlotte 92-78 on Friday for its third win in five games since a five-game slide.

The Raptors prevailed despite 20 turnovers, but they know things will be much tougher against the league's leading team Sunday.

"If we have 20 turnovers on Sunday, then it will be 40 points (for Miami)," coach Dwane Casey said.

Gay scored 29 against the Heat last month in his second game with Toronto after arriving from Memphis.

Heat pull away from Raptors, win 22nd straight

TORONTO (AP) Back where their winning streak started on Super Bowl Sunday, the Miami Heat kept rolling right into March Madness.

Now it's on to Boston to face the rival Celtics - the team who ended the last streak this long.

The Heat equaled the second-longest winning streak in NBA history, pulling away in the fourth quarter Sunday to beat the Toronto Raptors 108-91 for their 22nd consecutive victory.

"It's a special ride right now that we're on," LeBron James said. "The best thing about it is we're doing it together."

James had 22 points and 12 rebounds for his career-best 32nd double-double of the season, Dwyane Wade had 24 points and nine assists, and Ray Allen scored 16 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter for the defending NBA champions.

Chris Bosh finished with 18 points as the Heat matched the 22 consecutive wins recorded by the 2007-08 Houston Rockets. The NBA's longest streak is 33 games, set by the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers.

Miami will try to move into sole possession of second on Monday when it visits the Celtics - who ended the Rockets' run five years ago and have won 11 in a row at home.

"If there's any group that would be motivated in a circumstance like this, it's that team in green," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "I don't know if the streak will be a big factor but they love playing against us, and vice versa. That's what happens when you meet a team consecutively in the playoffs. There's a history there, and that's what makes these games special."

The Heat have faced the Celtics twice so far this season. They blew out Boston 120-107 in Miami on opening night, then lost 100-98 in double-overtime on the road on Jan. 27, the day Boston learned that Rajon Rondo needed knee surgery.

"They played better than us for a large part of that game," Spoelstra said.

Winners of two straight, the Celtics may be without veteran forward Kevin Garnett on Monday. The 15-time All-Star sat out Saturday's victory over Charlotte with a strained left thigh and is day-to-day.

"We have to treat them with the respect they deserve," Spoelstra said. "Regardless of who plays for them, that's a team that will come out with an incredible amount of urgency."

Wade called the looming matchup with Boston "a great challenge."

"I think we'll be ready for it," he said. "We've got to get our rest and we've got to know we're going to have a dog fight on our hands."

Heat forward Shane Battier, who played on the 2007-08 Rockets, inspired his teammates with a speech after their Feb. 3 win over Toronto. The 11-year veteran spoke again after Sunday's victory, an address that Spoelstra called "passionate" and "pure."

"Coach Riley gets paid close to six figures for his speeches," Spoelstra said, referring to former Heat coach and current team president Pat Riley. "I don't know what Shane should charge now, but he should get something."

Miami blew it open Sunday behind Allen's 3-point shooting after Toronto tied it at 77 early in the fourth quarter.

"Those (3-pointers) are what we feared for so many years (when Allen was with Boston)," Spoelstra said. "He can turn a game around just like that."

Toronto is the third team with multiple losses to the Heat during the streak. Miami has beaten Philadelphia three times and Atlanta twice.

"You talk about a well-oiled machine, those guys are efficient both offensively and defensively," Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. "They do it in a classy way. They are well put together."

Rudy Gay scored 27 and Amir Johnson had 18 points and 18 rebounds as the Raptors lost their 11th straight against Miami, extending their longest active losing streak against a single opponent.

"We just ran out of gas," Johnson said.

Jonas Valanciunas scored 18 points, and Terrence Ross and DeMar DeRozan each had 12 for the Raptors, whose last victory over the Heat was a 111-103 home win on Jan. 27, 2010 - when Bosh still played for Toronto and James was in Cleveland.

Toronto tied it at 77 on a pair of free throws by Gay less than a minute into the fourth but, even with James on the bench, Miami answered immediately. Allen hit a jumper, Norris Cole threw a half-court lob pass to Wade for an alley-oop dunk and Allen made a 3-pointer, giving Miami an 84-77 lead.

"It was a perfect pass," Wade said. "I don't really show a lot of emotions nowadays too much, but I got a little pumped up after that one."

After a Raptors timeout, Chris Andersen converted a three-point play and Wade made two free throws, capping a 12-0 run that put the Heat up 89-77 with 7:42 left.

James scored eight points and Bosh had seven in the first and Miami closed the quarter with an 8-2 run to lead 27-19 after one.

A layup from Bosh gave Miami a 49-33 lead with 2:37 left in the half. Toronto closed the gap with a 6-0 run, but a 3 by James with less than 3 seconds left put the Heat up 55-43 at the break.

Miami called timeout at 6:49 of the third after a layup by DeRozan cut it to 66-59, but Bosh answered with a 3 from the corner, restoring Miami's double-digit advantage.

Toronto fought back again in the final minutes of the third. After a dunk by Gay, DeRozan converted a three-point play with 1:52 left, making it 76-69. DeRozan, who missed 10 of his first 12 shots, made two jumpers in the final 1:14 as the Raptors cut it to 76-73 heading into the fourth.

NOTES: James narrowly missed a triple-double, finishing with eight assists. ... The Raptors outrebounded the Heat 51-26. ... Toronto has lost five straight home meetings with Miami. ... Former Raptor Morris Peterson attended the game.

Notebook: Heat 108, Raptors 91

Duane Watson, For NBA.com
Posted Sun Mar 17, 2013 4:48 PM - Updated Sun Mar 17, 2013 4:48 PM

THE FACTS: The Miami Heat tied the second-longest winning streak in NBA history at 22 games, defeating the Toronto Raptors 108-91 on Sunday at Air Canada Centre. Miami (51-14) started their streak on February 3 in Toronto, and have yet to lose since. They were led by Dwyane Wade's 24 points and nine assists and LeBron James' 22 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists. Ray Allen scored 20 off the bench, including 16 in the fourth quarter, while ex-Raptor Chris Bosh added 18.

In an exhibition of ugly basketball, Miami came out on top in the first half 55-43. However, the Raptors (26-41) bounced back in the third quarter behind 14 points by Rudy Gay and ended it on a 12-2 run, with eight points from DeMar DeRozan. They outscored the Heat 30-14, closing the frame, down only three points at 76-73.

The Raptors jumped out to tie the game at 77-77 with 11:07 in the fourth quarter, then Miami went on a decisive 28-4 run powered by Allen's 16 points for their biggest lead of the game of 24 points with just over four minutes left in the game at 105-81. That effectively slammed the door on a Toronto comeback.

Toronto was led by Gay's 27 points and eight rebounds and Amir Johnson's 18 point and 18 rebound double-double. Rookie center Jonas Valanciunas scored 18 points with seven rebounds, while DeRozan and Terrence Ross both chipped in 12 points.

QUOTABLE: "It's a special team. It's a special ride right now that we're on and I think the best thing about it is we're doing it together. We're doing it for one another and just want to try to keep it going. It's not about the streak, it's about us getting better each and every day, preparing to win each and every night and we've been fortunate to do that."

-- Heat forward LeBron James on the 22-game winning streak

THE STAT: The Raptors shot 23.8 percent in the fourth quarter, after only trailing the Heat by 3 points after three quarters. They outperformed Miami in a number of statistical categories, but their inability to put the ball in the net when it mattered is what cost them the game.

TURNING POINT: After the Raptors rallied to tie the game at 77-77, Miami showed why they haven't lost in six weeks, going on a commanding 28-4 run to put the game out of reach at 105-81 with 4:16 left.

QUOTABLE II: "When we started playing better two months ago, it was about the process. It would be disingenuous if it changed right now and its about the result. It's about trying to get better and playing our game to raise our level."

-- Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on the winning streak

HOT: Allen came off the bench for Miami in the fourth quarter and scored 16 points to break the game open, shooting 5-for-6 from the field and 4-for-5 from behind the 3-point line. He finished with 20 points for the game.

NOT: The Raptors backcourt of Kyle Lowry and DeRozan were stifled by the Heat defense, shooting a combined 5-for-24 from the field for 12 points, three assists and six turnovers.

NOTABLE: James' double-double was his 32nd of the season, a career-high. ... Miami's Allen became the all-time career opponent scoring leader for total points against the Raptors; (1093) he has also played 55 games versus Toronto -- most in franchise history. ... Miami's Shane Battier was also a member of the Houston Rockets' 22-win team. ... Toronto has now lost seven of their last 10 games and their last 11 consecutive games against Miami.
