The Heat fended off elimination Friday, going with a super-small lineup and beating theRaptors103-91 in Miami to force a winner-take-all game. Miami won a Game 7 in the first round, topping Charlotte at home. Toronto also successfully defended home-court in a first-round Game 7, and this series has gone just as that one against Indiana did Raptorslose at home, win at home, win on the road, lose on the road, win at home, lose on the road.

"Game 7 in the first round was a little more tight,"Raptorsguard Kyle Lowry said. "This one Sunday will be "Just go out there and hoop.""
