As the Miami Heat beat the Toronto Raptors in their last NBA Cup group play game, 121-111, it was in part to an impeccable performance from their star center. Heat captain Bam Adebayo would record his eighth career triple-double Friday night as the last rebound he needed came from the help of teammate Jimmy Butler.

While it was Butler, Herro and Jaquez who powered those third quarter rallies, Pelle Larsson’s activity, Kevin Love’s passing (two splendid assists) and Adebayo’s defense (two steals), passing (three assists) and aggressiveness (five rebounds) in the third also made a difference. And Terry Rozier provided a lift with four second-half threes.

MIAMI (AP) — Jimmy Butler scored 26 points, Tyler Herro added 23 and the Miami Heat beat the Toronto Raptors 121-111 on Friday night. The Heat were 21 of 54 on 3-pointers in the game, the third-most attempts from beyond the arc in franchise history. Miami has taken 56 in a game twice.
