Toronto Raptors: 5 Takeaways From Game 4 Loss To Heat

1. Very little separates these teams

This series is far from over. While the play has been less than stellar on both sides, neither team appears to possess enough firepower to ever put any game out of reach. As long as Lowry and DeRozan keep playing well below the level they played during the season, they will allow Miami to stay in each game and give them an opportunity to take this series.

The great thing about a series like this is each game comes down to the wire and every decision and mistake becomes magnified. Adjustments like the all-wing lineup Spoelstra went with in the fourth can be the difference between a win and a loss and the pressure is on Dwane Casey and his coaching staff to get creative with the pieces he has left and come up with adjustments.

With Toronto struggling, Miami seems to have the advantage due to their experience and composure. There’s no denying the Raptors have the deeper and more talented team when you look at the available players on each roster. But unless they learn how to play when the lights are at their brightest, this series is likely going to end in an excruciatingly painful and frustrating defeat.
