"Murray-Boyles was one of the youngest players to appear in the game for either side, yet he defined the game. And in the hunt of the playoffs proper rather than the play-in, the Raptors have another must-win game against the Heat in two nights."
"Near the 11 minute mark of the third quarter, Ingram dribbled toward the 3-point line with significant intention, careless of who would come meet him... launched away for points 26, 27, and 28 to put the Raptors up by 26."
"A huge run of triples from the Heat that helped bring the game back within 6. That's right, they snapped off a 25-8 run, and in very short order."
"Even so, the Raptors kept pushing the boulder up the hill. A bucket here and there, a touch shot, a halfcourt drive, a push in transition."
Brandon Ingram scored a season-high 38 points, helping the Raptors defeat the Miami Heat and sweep their regular-season matchups. The Raptors now need just one more win to secure a playoff spot. They established a 19-point lead at halftime, but the Heat mounted a comeback with a 25-8 run. Despite the Heat's scoring surge, the Raptors maintained their offensive pressure, with Ingram playing a crucial role throughout the game. The Raptors face another critical matchup against the Heat soon.
