With about two-thirds of the 2021-22 NBA season in the books, the Miami Heat find themselves atop the Eastern Conference standings.

There’s no sugarcoating it: this was the Toronto Raptors’ worst loss of the season thus far. On Saturday night, they were outhustled by the Detroit Pistons, and outplayed by themselves.
