Raptors hold Heat to third-lowest total since shot-clock era
In a season of misery, the Miami Heat set a new low.
Andrea Bargnani and Anthony Parker each scored 14 points and the Toronto Raptors held Miami to the third-lowest point total in the shot-clock era, beating the Heat 96-54 on Wednesday night.
“I feel real bad for (the players) that they couldn’t make a few shots and just get out of the record books but that’s the way it goes,” Heat coach Pat Riley said.
Miami was just five points off the NBA record-low since the shot clock was introduced in the 1954-55 season, Chicago’s 49-point effort against the Heat in April 1999.
“We’ve had four or five games like this this year and when it goes, it just absolutely goes,” Riley said.
The Heat set franchise lows for points in a game and in a half (26), and shot a franchise-worst 20-for-78 (.256).
“It was very tough,” said guard Chris Quinn, who played a career-high 48 minutes. “It was pretty embarrassing to come out and lose like that.”
