Miami Heat Defeat Raptors for Fourth Straight Win Amid Trade Rumors

The Heat rallied from a 16-point deficit to secure a 114-104 victory, with standout performances from Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo.

The Miami Heat extended their winning streak to four games with a 114-104 victory over the Toronto Raptors, closing out a perfect four-game homestand.
Tyler Herro led the Heat with 23 points, while Bam Adebayo contributed a double-double with 21 points and 16 rebounds, tying Alonzo Mourning for second-most double-doubles in franchise history.
Nikola Jovic provided a critical spark off the bench, scoring 14 points in his first game action in nearly three weeks and helping the Heat recover from an early 16-point deficit.
Jimmy Butler, at the center of trade speculation, had a quiet performance with 11 points but dismissed rumors of a potential move, while his agent and the Heat declined to comment further on reports.
The Heat now have a three-day break before facing the Detroit Pistons, as their light schedule continues due to elimination from the NBA's in-season tournament.
