Working Overtime
For the second straight game, the Toronto Raptors and Miami Heat need an extra five minutes to decide their game as the Toronto looked to even their second round series. After dropping the opener, the Raptors faced a must win situation in Game 2 at Air Canada Centre on Thursday Night. After building an early lead, the Raptors again found themselves playing from behind in the fourth quarter as Miami too control of the game in the third quarter. Trailing 77-70 late in the middle of the fourth, the Raptors got some big baskets from Jonas Valanciunas including a rebound tip in that gave Toronto an 82-80 lead with 1:22 left. The Heat would force overtime a three pointer by Groan Dragic with 10.5 seconds left. In a reversal of Game 1, where Miami scored the first eight points in overtime after Kyle Lowry's half court heave Toronto scored the first six points in Game 2 and went on to even the series with a 96-92 win.
