The Raptors found comfort from the Heat and finally found a way to win.

For once they didn't have to explain how a huge lead disappeared or how their game vanished in crunch time.

For once they were left to rejoice and not reflect on another missed opportunity.

By beating the Miami Heat 83-74 last night, the Raptors stopped the bleeding from a 13-game losing streak and restored some confidence on a team that was reeling.
