Nothing tops the Oklahoma City Thunder v. San Antonio Spurs insane finish in game 2, but Tuesday night between the Miami Heat and Toronto Raptors provided a crazy finish of their own.

Kyle Lowry hit a buzzerbeating half-court shot to send the game to overtime but then the Raptors went cold as the Heat took over.  With under two minutes remaining, shots from DeMar DeRozan and DeMarre Carroll cut the Heat’s lead down to three.  Dwyane Wade gave the Raptors one more chance by botching an inbound pass but they didn’t capitalize.  Wade made up for his mistake by stealing the ball from DeRozan.  Wade then got up off the floor and ran with the ball down the court to hit the game sealing layup and-1 off the foul by Carroll as the Heat won 102-96.

Many touted Wade’s vintage defense and scoring as he hit seven of his 24-points in overtime.  But others accused him of traveling, noting that you can’t get up and keep possession of the ball.  Usually when a player scrambles on the floor for possession, they kick it out to another teammate.

“D-Wade did a great job of reading the play and jumping toward the ball, trying to take the ball away from me,” DeRozan said.

“We had to win the game twice tonight,” said Wade.
