(NBA) Heat extend win streak to 22
(03-18 10:55)

The Miami Heat were given a scare in the fourth quarter by the Toronto Raptors but were virtually unstoppable late on and won their 22nd-consecutive game, 108-91.
The Heat built up a 16-point lead in the first half, but the Raptors chipped away and tied the game early in the fourth quarter before Miami pulled away down the stretch, RTHK reports.
Dwyane Wade had 24 points for Miami while LeBron James had 22.
Rudy Gay and Amir Johnson were responsible for most of the Raptors scoring.
Gay had 27 while Johnson had 18 to go along with 18 rebounds. "It's a special team," said James of his team whose winning streak is now tied for the second longest in NBA history.
