Wade (knee) went for 17 points (7-17 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 38 minutes in Thursday’s 96-92 Game 2 overtime loss to the Raptors.

Although he scuffled a bit from the field, Wade managed some rare long-range success at a key moment in regulation. He drained a clutch 25-foot three-point jumper with 37 seconds left to bring the Heat back within one, after a Kyle Lowry three-pointer had extended the Raptors’ lead to four. The perennial All-Star had notably tallied his last trey in the regular season back on Dec. 16 against the Nets, but has now recorded at least one basket from beyond the arc in three of the last four postseason contests. Natually, he figures to continue serving as a pivotal component of the Heat attack as the series shifts to South Florida for Game 3.
