Through 3 quarters
Below ten at the end of the last quarter, the Miami hits have now snatched the lead. After three quarters no squad has competed in the bag, but Miami is 81-78 ahead of the Toronto Raptors.
The hit point guard Kyle Lori and shooting guard Max Strauss enjoyed the tag-team combination. The former has 13 points and eight assists with five boards, and the latter has 14 points. The Toronto points guard is relying on the performance of Fred Vanvalit, who has 29 points and six assists. This makes it four games in a row where Vanvilit has stolen at least three.
Here’s an interesting fact: The Miami team had a three-point lead after the third quarter in the last meeting.

What to know
7pm ET at the Scotiabank Arena 3 April The Miami Heat may have tired legs after a contest yesterday as they take to the streets against the Toronto Raptors. Both teams want to continue their momentum from their previous victories.
Miami didn’t have much trouble with the Chicago Bulls last Saturday as they won 127-109. The hit relied on the efforts of junior forward Jimmy Butler, who had six assists with 22 points and seven rebounds, and point guard Kyle Lowry, who double-doubled on 19 points and ten dime.
Toronto, meanwhile, took the game last Friday with a 102-89 lead over the Orlando Magic. The top scorers for the Raptors were point guard Fred Vanvalit (19 points), power forward Scotty Burns (19 points), and shooting guard Gary Trent Jr. (17 points). It makes three games in a row so that Fred Vanvalit has stolen at least three.
Miami is expected to lose this next 5. However, those who like to bet on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 12-3 against the spread at the expected time of loss.
Miami was close but had no cigars at the team’s previous meeting in February as they lost 110-106 to Toronto. Will the heat avenge their loss, or will history repeat itself? We’ll find out soon.
