Heat try to extend five-game winning streak vs. Raptors
After a slow start to the season, the Heat have come on strong lately, winning five games in a row to earn the league’s longest current winning streak. The hot streak has pushed them back up to .500 at 16-16, and into a tie for sixth place in the East. But they’ll have to face a tough test if they want to keep the good times going on Wednesday night. That’s because the first-place Raptors come to town, and they’ll be eager for a win after getting crushed by the Sixers before Christmas.
