MIAMI (AP) — Danny Green's 3-pointer with 22.7 seconds left put the Toronto Raptors ahead for good in a 106-104 triumph over the Heat at Miami. Green had 18 points for the Raptors, who survived a wild fourth quarter that saw 13 lead changes and three ties before they improved to an NBA-best 26-10. Kawhi (kah-WY') Leonard poured in 30 points and Fred VanVleet added 16 as Toronto ended the Heat's five-game winning streak.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indiana Pacers made it 10 wins in their last 12 games as Thaddeus Young scored 21 points in a 129-121 victory in Atlanta.

Hamilton said via email that it was believed to be the first bowl canceled by weather.
