But James sank a pair of free throws and then stole a Raptors pass, following it with a slam dunk for an 89-82 Miami advantage.

James also had nine rebounds while Dwyane Wade added 25 points as Miami won for the seventh time in eight games.

Toronto was led by DeMar DeRozan with 25 points.

Bayless and Linas Kleiza contributed 17 each, but it wasn't enough to prevent the Raptors' third loss in four contests.
