The Toronto Raptors saw Scottie Barnes record his sixth career triple-double but the Miami Heat proved too much Friday night

Gradey Dick ’s game has expanded. RJ Barrett ’s passing has improved. Jakob Poeltl is eating on the offensive end. Ochai Agbaji looks like a long-term rotation player. A few of the team’s rookies have shown flashes of being contributors.

After a rare road win in New Orleans, the Raptors got back in the losing column away from home, largely thanks to a poor third quarter in Miami. Leading 61-58 at halftime in a back-and-forth game, Toronto got smothered by an active Miami defence that often went into a zone against the confused visitors and fell 121-111 in a game where two players notched triple-doubles.
