DeMar DeRozan has 16 points in the first half (11 in the first quarter) and is 6 of 9 from the floor and 4 of 5 from the line along with 2 assists and 2 boards and he is going to the hole and slamming down on the not so tight Heat D. In the third DeRozan had the first 7 points for the Raps and the Heat D seriously tightened up in the third quarter as it took the Raps got 3 points between the 10:09 and 1:49 mark and only made 4 buckets from the floor in the quarter and had 14 points in the quarter and 8 of them after the 10:09 mark of the quarter which costed the Raps the game as they had 8 of 16 turnovers in the third quarter. The Raps went into the fourth quarter down 75-62 after a 22-14 third quarter and they made a charge in the fourth quarter after the Heat went up 85-70 @ the 6:33 the Raps went on 12-0 run to close the gap to 3 with 3:23 thanks to 5 points from Jerryd Bayless and a three from Kleiza but the Raps ended up losing 95-89.
DeRozan had 25 points in the game with 11 in the first quarter and Kleiza had 12 points and Jerryd Bayless had 9 in the fourth quarter and both ended with 17 in the game and Ed Davis had 8 points and 8 boards. Then Guys like Calderon was just not himself after 17 assist game Friday had only 2 assists compared to 5 turnovers while Amir who had 5 boards in the first half had only 1 in the second half and 1 of 3 from the floor while Barbosa was not feeling it today as he was 1 of 8 from the floor and if he was able to come in in the third quarter and heat up he would of given the Raps a better chance to win the game.
D Wade had 25 points with 12 trips to the line and made 9 while LBJ had 30 points with 9 boards and also had 12 trips to the line and made 10 of them and they had 55 of the Heats 95 points today. Chris had 12 points and had 8 boards and Udonis Haslem had 9 boards and Mario Chalmers was 3 of 5 from beyond the arc but in the end Erik Spoelstra was not impressed by the Heats fourth quarter as the Raps outscored 27-20 in the final quarter.
The Raps if they come ready to play against the Wiz tomorrow then they would match their road victories from last season of 6 in 18 games
