Brandon Ingram exploded for a season-high 38 points as the Raptors crushed the Heat 128-114.

Brandon Ingram erupted for a season-high 38 points on a blistering 13-of-23 shooting to lead the Toronto Raptors to a 128-114 victory over the Miami Heat on Thursday. Ingram added 7 rebounds and 7 assists in a complete performance that has Toronto on the brink of the postseason.

The Raptors were surgical in the first half, committing just one turnover and building an insurmountable lead. Toronto finished with only six turnovers for the game while dominating on both ends. It was the Raptors' second win over Miami in three days, completing a four-game season sweep of the Heat.

At 45-35, Toronto is now tied for fifth in the East with the idle Atlanta Hawks. One more win — either Friday against the Knicks or Sunday versus the Nets — clinches the Raptors' first playoff appearance in four years. After years of rebuilding following the Kawhi era, the Ingram trade is paying off at the perfect time.
