The Miami Heat have forced a deciding game 7 in their Eastern Conference semi-final after posting a 103-91 victory over the visiting Toronto Raptors at the American Airlines Arena.
Both teams started the game quite well on Friday with the hosts taking a 1-point lead by the end of the first period.
Miami then stretched their advantage to 9 points when they outscored the visitors 32-24 at the intermission.
In the third, Kyle Lowry’s two-point shot cut the Raptors’ deficit to 6 points at 54-48. But Miami never looked threatened down the stretch and pulled away to win 103-91.
Toronto will host the all important game 7 on Sunday.
