Heat 93, Raptors 83: LeBron James erupted for 32 points, eight assists and seven rebounds as host Miami pulled into a virtual tie with Indiana atop the Eastern Conference standings.

Chris Bosh added 18 points for Miami, which took advantage of the Pacers' 103-77 loss to the San Antonio Spurs earlier Monday to move six percentage points ahead of the Pacers. Chris Andersen had 13 points and Mario Chalmers contributed 12 for the Heat, who defeated Toronto for the 15th straight time.

Greivis Vasquez led the way with 17 points off the bench for the Raptors, who saw their lead shrink over idle Brooklyn shrink to two games in the race for top spot in the Atlantic Division. DeMar DeRozan had 16 points while Jonas Valanciunas chipped in with 14 points and 10 rebounds for Toronto, which is tied for third with Chicago in the Eastern Conference standings.

Miami needed just over three minutes to turn a three-point halftime lead into a double-digit advantage, and Bosh and James combined for the final 15 Miami points of the quarter to fend off a Toronto rally and give the Heat a 74-65 edge going into the fourth. Toronto made it a one-possession game on a Vasquez layup with 6:13 remaining, but Toney Douglas buried a 3-pointer and James converted a three-point play as part of a decisive 11-3 run.

James was dominant in the opening half, racking up 21 points, six assists and four rebounds en route to a 54-51 Miami lead. Toronto shot nearly 60 percent in the half but had 12 fewer free-throw attempts.
