MIAMI(AP) \u2014 Brandon Ingram scored 28 points and the Toronto Raptors snapped a four-game skid with a 106-96 victory Monday night over Miami, extending the Heat\u2019s losing streak to five.<\/p>\n
Miami lost forward Nikola Jovic to an elbow injury in the first quarter. Jovic took a hard foul from Collin Murray-Boyles while driving to the basket and fell to the floor 12 seconds after he entered the game.<\/p>\n
Scottie Barnes added 17 points and 10 rebounds and Immanuel Quickley finished with 15 points for the Raptors, who made 16 3-pointers. Ingram shot 5 of 7 from behind the arc.<\/p>\n
Sandro Mamukelashvili scored 11 points and Gradey Dick added 10 for Toronto.<\/p>\n
Norman Powell and Bam Adebayo scored 20 points each and Davion Mitchell added 12 points for the Heat, who played without Tyler Herro. He sat out because of a right toe contusion.<\/p>\n
It was the first time this season the Heat were held under 100 points.<\/p>\n
Down by five early in the fourth quarter, Toronto took the lead for good with a 17-2 run. Jamal Shead\u2019s 3-pointer with 7:31 remaining put the Raptors ahead 91-81.<\/p>\n
The Heat narrowed the deficit to four points when Powell made three free throws with 1:28 left. But Shead hit a floating jumper and Barnes followed with a putback layup.<\/p>\n
The Raptors are 4-6 since RJ Barrett, the team\u2019s third-leading scorer, sprained his right knee against Brooklyn on Nov. 23. Barrett, who averages 19.4 points per game, began on-court workouts Monday, coach Darko Rajakovic said.<\/p>\n
