Raptors Beat Heat 128-114 on Ingram's 38 Points
Toronto, April 10, 2026 - The Toronto Raptors secured a decisive 128-114 victory over the Miami Heat on Thursday night, propelled by a season-high 38 points from Brandon Ingram, positioning the team one win away from clinching their first playoff berth in four years.
Ingram, who also grabbed seven rebounds and dished out seven assists, dominated the game, particularly in the first half where he scored 23 points. His aggressive play forced Miami's defenders into double- and triple-teams, creating open looks for his teammates. The win completed a back-to-back sweep of the Heat, marking Toronto's third victory over them this season. All-Star Scottie Barnes encountered early foul trouble, but Ingram stepped up to maintain the Raptors' momentum.
With the victory, Toronto improved to 45-35 and climbed into fifth place in the Eastern Conference standings, edging out the idle Atlanta Hawks on tiebreakers despite identical records. The Raptors face the New York Knicks on the road Friday before hosting the Brooklyn Nets in their regular-season finale on Sunday. A win in either contest would lock in their postseason spot, ending a three-year absence from the playoffs.
