The Toronto Raptors (28 - 15) held onto second place in the turbulent Eastern Conference with a 101 - 81 home win over the Miami Heat (23 - 21) on Friday. Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry earned starting All-Star honors this week, joining his opponent, Miami guard Dwyane Wade, in the Eastern Conference backcourt. Lowry filled the stat sheet on Friday, delivering 15 points, four rebounds, six assists, a pair of steals, and a block. It was his fellow guard DeMar DeRozan, however, that made the biggest splash, lighting up the Heat defense for 33 points. The Raptors were red - hot from behind the three - point arc, shooting 52 percent on attempts from deep. Miami, meanwhile, hit just 4 of 17 attempts from beyond the arc. Wade recorded 22 points while fellow star Chris Bosh posted 26, but no other Miami player reached double - digits. The Heat bench contributed just 12 points, and outside of Wade and Bosh, the team shot a paltry 33 percent from the field. Center Hassan Whiteside, who has taken to social media to make a fierce All-Star campaign, was absent from Friday's contest due to a strained left hip. Miami will have two days of rest before traveling to Chicago on Monday. Meanwhile, Toronto plays host to the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday afternoon.
