It was unusual for Miami to play a National Basketball Association game in front on no fans in attendance. The most recent time for the club was during the 2020 NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers in Orlando.
Miami(32-20) held a 32-22 advantage at the end of one quarter and still led 62-50 by halftime. Toronto(26-23) chopped at the lead and trailed 83-80 at the end of the third quarter. The Raptors went on a 10-2 spurt to begin the fourth quarter and held off a couple of Heat charges.
The Heat were led by Bam Adebayo as he registered a team-high 32 points and 11 rebounds for a double-double. Jimmy Butler also had a double-double with 16 points, 12assists and eight rebounds. Tyler Herro dropped in 18 points and P. J. Tucker scored 12 points.
All Toronto players who started the game were able to score in double digits. Gary Trent Jr. piled on a game-high 33 points while Fred VanVleet added 22 points.
