Heat-Raptors Preview

The Miami Heat have secured the second seed in the Eastern Conference, though it's hardly been a smooth ride. They know it won't get any easier in the playoffs.

Miami closes out an eventful regular season when it visits the short-handed Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night.

The Heat (57-24) defeated Atlanta 98-90 on Monday to assure themselves of the No. 2 seed, locking them into a first-round matchup with Philadelphia.

Despite 34 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists from LeBron James, the Hawks nearly erased a 20-point deficit while playing mostly reserves.

"Sometimes it's not pretty, but we're doing the little things necessary to win," said Dwyane Wade, who scored 21 points. "That's what will matter in the playoffs, because some games won't be so pretty."

That certainly was the case at times during a regular season marked by sky-high expectations. Miami started 9-8 and endured a five-game losing streak against playoff teams from Feb. 27-March 8 that raised doubts about whether it could compete with the NBA's best.

"Staying the course," James said. "That's all (coach Erik Spoelstra) talked about. Staying the course, staying the course, and we'll get through everything."

The Heat need a victory to finish with their highest win total since going 59-23 in 2004-05. They appear to have a very good chance to do so against the Raptors.

The Heat have taken all three meetings rather easily, winning by an average of 11.4 points. Bosh scored 25 in his first return to Toronto since joining Miami as the Heat won 103-95 in the latest meeting Feb. 16.

Andrea Bargnani scored 38 points in that game and is averaging 29.3 against the Heat this season, but he's missed four straight and seven of the last nine contests due to a sore ankle.

The Raptors (22-59) used just eight players in a 93-86 loss to Milwaukee on Monday as Bargnani, Leandro Barbosa, Jose Calderon, Amir Johnson, Sonny Weems and Reggie Evans sat out.

It's uncertain if any of them will play Wednesday.

Toronto struggled in the fourth quarter against the Bucks, committing six of its 20 turnovers.

"They wore us down in the second half," coach Jay Triano said. "We didn't drive as much in the second half as I would have liked. Our guys were just worn down a little bit."

Jerryd Bayless scored 20 points and DeMar DeRozan added 17 for Toronto, but they went a combined 11 for 34 from the field. The Raptors shot 37.0 percent overall.

Miami has won four straight and six of eight against Toronto, but the Raptors have taken six of the last eight meetings at Air Canada Centre.

House scores 35 points, Heat beat Raptors 97-79

TORONTO (AP) The Miami Heat didn't need any of their Big Three to finish the regular season with a win.

Eddie House scored a career-high 35 points, Juwan Howard added 18 and the Heat beat the Toronto Raptors 97-79 on Wednesday night.

"That was one of the more enjoyable wins of the season," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "It speaks to the professionalism of the guys that stayed ready and got an important win for us."

With the Heat assured of the second seed in the East, Spoelstra rested LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. The Heat also were without forward Mike Miller, who sat out the second half Sunday against Boston because of a sore left thumb and injured his left ankle Monday night against Atlanta.

Spoelstra said he sympathized with the sellout crowd who chanted for James and Bosh, who were both in uniform, to see some action, calling it "a difficult decision" to sit his stars.

"They legitimately are nicked up right now," he said. "We have to look at the big picture. That's the bottom line. It is a tough decision but at the end of the year you have to think about what's most important for the next step."

Miami will host Philadelphia in its postseason opener Saturday.

"They've gotten better every single month," Spoelstra said about the 76ers. "That's the test of a well-coached team and also a team of players who are together. Every month they've improved defensively. They're one of the better defensive teams in the league now and offensively they're efficient."

House's previous career best was 31 against Utah on Nov. 18, 2005. The veteran guard, who hadn't played in Miami's previous five games, finished 7 of 13 from 3-point range.

"It was good to get out there and play, just to play again and have a rhythm," House said. "There are nights you can't do that. It felt good to be out there."

James Jones scored 12 points and Jamaal Magloire had a season-high 19 rebounds for the Heat, who have won four straight and 15 of 18 heading into the playoffs.

"They've got the workhorses, they've got role players and they've got the superstars," said Toronto's James Johnson, who scored 12 points. "If they can put that all together, it's going to be a fun playoffs to watch."

Jerryd Bayless scored 21 points and DeMar DeRozan had 18 for the Raptors, who lost five of their final six games and missed the playoffs for the third consecutive season.

"I don't think anybody is happy with our record, but at the same time there were some positives this year," Raptors coach Jay Triano said. "The development of our young players was a plus."

Ahead by one after three quarters, Miami opened the fourth on a 7-0 run thanks to four free throws from Howard and a corner 3-pointer by House. DeRozan stopped the run with a jumper but Mario Chalmers answered with a jump shot and House made back-to-back 3s, giving the Heat an 85-71 lead with 6:19 left.

For the second straight game, the Raptors had just eight healthy players. Toronto was without Leandro Barbosa (right pinky), Andrea Bargnani (right ankle), Jose Calderon (left hamstring), Reggie Evans (left index finger) Amir Johnson (left ankle) and Sonny Weems (right knee).

House scored 18 points in the first, hitting eight of nine shots, and Miami closed the quarter on a 14-3 run to lead 29-20.

House even banked in his second shot of the night, a two-point jumper.

"The one he banked in, he told me, 'It felt good. That was on line,"' Miami's Mike Bibby said. "After that, he only stopped himself."

House didn't score in the second, while Bayless had nine as Toronto erased the deficit. Julian Wright's hook shot with 12 seconds left in the half gave the Raptors a 51-50 lead at the intermission.

A 3-pointer by House with 33 seconds left in the third gave Miami a 70-69 lead heading into the final quarter.

NOTES: Chalmers matched his career high with 13 assists. ... Magloire's career high in rebounds is 22, set against Charlotte on Jan. 21, 2006. ... The Heat finished 13 for 26 from beyond the arc. ... Toronto's Barbosa will visit a hand specialist in New York City on Thursday. He missed the final six games of the season. ... DeRozan was the only Toronto player to start in all 82 games. ... Former Blue Jays infielder Roberto Alomar watched from a baseline seat.

THE FACTS: Wednesday night at the Air Canada Centre, the Miami Heat rested LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in a game that meant little to either team. The Heat got a career night from Eddie House (35 points) which was enough to take down an undermanned Toronto Raptors team 97-79. The game saw 14 lead changes before Miami went on run to start the fourth quarter and never looked back. The Raptors, playing with just eight healthy bodies, were unable to make a final push and were held to shooting just 19 percent in the fourth.

QUOTABLE: "Eddie was on fire, no question about it. He got into that rhythm there in the second quarter and we kept on finding him the ball where he was open, and he's ignitable. Jamaal was a rebound machine. He'll fight anybody out there for that ball, sometimes his own teammates."
-- Erik Spoelstra on the play of Eddie House and Jamaal Magloire

THE STAT: The Heat were better in every category tonight but did the most damage from behind the arc. Miami connected on 13 3-pointers (50 percent), while the Raptors made just one.

TURNING POINT: Going into the final frame with a one-point lead, the Heat went on a 15-2 run, which included nine straight points from House, to blow the game open. The Heat shot 50 percent for the final quarter while the Raptors went cold, shooting just 19 percent.

HOT: House got the start Wednesday and made the most of it, scoring a career-high 35. He got hot in the first quarter where he scored the final 14 points for the Heat.

INSIDE THE ARENA: Baseball Hall of Fame inductee and former Toronto Blue Jays legend Roberto Alomar was courtside to take in the game.

NOTABLE: Magloire tied a career high in rebounds (19) in just 29 minutes off the bench. House's team-high 35 points was the first time this season a player other than James, Wade or Bosh has led the Heat in scoring. Wednesday was labeled "Fanapalooza" by the Raptors. Fans who attended the game had chances to win various prizes including a half-court shot for a $1 million.
