The Toronto Raptors defeated the visiting Miami Heat, 116 - 89, on Sunday in Game 7 at Air Canada Centre to advance to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time in franchise history. Everything was on the line for the Raptors for the second time in the 2016 playoffs, as the team faced its second Game 7 in the first two rounds. Sudden death seemed to bring out the best in the Raptors' All-Star backcourt, as the dynamic duo of Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan posted 63 points on the night. Lowry dominated every aspect of the court, also dishing out nine assists and recording four steals en route to a team - high plus/minus of 35. And 23 - year - old center Bismack Biyombo also stepped up, pulling down 16 rebounds and scoring 17 points on 6 - for - 8 shooting. The team played perhaps its best basketball of the playoffs in the win, earning a 27 - point blowout. The win comes in preparation for facing the reigning conference champion Cleveland Cavaliers, who remain undefeated through the first two rounds. The Heat, meanwhile, were hindered in the series by numerous injuries to key players. Veteran All-Star Chris Bosh was sidelined at the end of the regular season by a recurring blood clot issue. Defensive Player of the Year second runner - up Hassan Whiteside, meanwhile, was taken out of the series early with an MCL sprain. Toronto was able to lay waste to the injury - hampered team on Sunday, as no Heat player scored more than 16. Veteran Dwyane Wade struggled to get things going, as he turned the ball over four times. Point guard Goran Dragic, meanwhile, shot just 6 - for - 17 from the field, as the Heat as a whole struggled to find an offensive rhythm. Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals is Tuesday at Cleveland.
