Heat 120, Raptors 103
LeBron James poured in 38 points and Mike Miller erupted for a season-best 32 as the undermanned Miami Heat cruised to a 120-102 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Saturday.
James tormented the Raptors all night long, hitting 14 of 29 shots from the field while adding 11 rebounds, six assists and a pair of steals. Miller was almost as good, burying six 3-pointers while adding 10 boards as Miami broke out to a 15-point advantage after one quarter and led 66-40 at the break to win for the first time in five games.
Miller's 3-point barrage helped Miami earn an easy win despite missing superstars Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh due to injuries. Wade sat out with migraines while Bosh missed his second straight game with a sprained ankle.
DeMar DeRozan led the way with 30 points for the Raptors, who have lost seven straight games. Toronto did make a game of it late, but couldn't get any closer than seven points as it concluded an 0-5 road trip.
Andrea Bargnani poured in 28 points while Jose Calderon added 14 points and 13 assists in defeat.
