MIAMI The Raptors play all these wonderful and dramatic games, close and bitter fights with very good teams. To a long list of close, tremendous games the Raptors have played this season, add a 124-120 triple-overtime win over the Miami Heat here Saturday night. It was like so many other games this season: close throughout, a solid performance, much to be impressed by and as close to an instant franchise classic as you’ll get. Pascal Siakam made two free throws with 9.8 seconds left in the third overtime as the Raptors finally got a win after playing a solid, exhausting game against a top-level opponent. But after OG Anunoby missed a three-pointer with less than five seconds left, Scottie Barnes was fouled going for a rebound – a call only confirmed after video replay and his two foul shots with 2.9 seconds left tied the game.
