And the Miami Heat were hosting Toronto in the East semi-finals. A win for Toronto, and they would win the series and advance to the conference final for the first time in franchise history -- but Goran Dragic and South Beach had other ideas -- as the heat were looking to force a Game seven.

Dwyane Wade no stranger to pressure situations over the course of his career, as Kyle Lowry and Canada's Only Team look to eliminate the hosts in South Beach.

Dragic turns the ball over late in the first quarter. Norman Powell passes the rock ahead to Terrence Ross for the fastbreak dunk, and the gift wrapped throwdown puts the Raps in front by one.

Dragic would make amends in the final 30 seconds of the period, dishing to Tyler Johnson for the trey from the corner, and that gives Miami the lead again.

DeMar DeRozan looks to keep the T-Dot close as he gets the hoop and the harm in the second Q. Deng with the hack, and DeRozan would score 23.

Dragic would see a path to the cup a minute before half-time, and the ball rattles in after the spin move to put the Heat on top by nine. The Slovenian with 14 of his 30 points in the second quarter.

Lowry would try to bring the visitors back after the break as he works his way into the paint for the tough and-one. He's on his way to a game-high 36 points.

But Wade makes sure the home team stays comfortably ahead, drilling the three as the clock ticks down in the third quarter. No foul but the lead is a dozen.

"Flash" gets plenty of help from Dragic, who stops and pops midway through the fourth, and his 30 would set a new career high for the playoffs.

Wade would extinguish any hopes of a Raptors rally in the final 90 seconds. The crossover and J closing out a 22 point evening for him. Toronto host Game Seven tomorrow.
