Raptors have no issues handling the Heat in high-stakes matchup

The Toronto Raptors delivered exactly what they needed in a potential playoff preview, riding a dominant performance from Scottie Barnes and Brandon Ingram to a convincing 121–95 win over the Miami Heat. The star duo combined for 48 points, setting the tone on both ends of the floor.

For the first time in a while, Toronto was nearly at full strength. Immanuel Quickley returned after dealing with plantar fasciitis, while Sandro Mamukelashvili and rookie Collin Murray-Boyles were cleared to play just before tip-off.
