The Heat had been 12-0 when facing Toronto with Bosh in the lineup against his former team.

"I'll let him know," DeMar DeRozan said. "It's just crazy how long it's been. All of the years playing with him and all the times playing against him ... just finally beating him."

Bosh left the Raptors to sign with the Heat in 2010.

Powell will remain on the Raptors’ roster and will be placed on the team’s inactive list.
