MIAMI — Lou Williams scored 29 points, DeMar DeRozan added 24 and the Toronto Raptors put the Miami Heat on the brink of playoff elimination with a 107-104 victory Saturday night.

Greivis Vasquez and Kyle Lowry each scored 12 points and Patrick Patterson had 11 for the Raptors, who clinched home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

Dwyane Wade scored 30 points for the Heat, who can only get to 37 wins – the number that Brooklyn and Boston are already at, putting them in the No. 7 and No. 8 spots in the Eastern Conference race.

KNICKS 80, MAGIC 79: Cole Aldrich had a career-high 19 points and New York beat host Orlando in a game that had the lowest-scoring quarter in NBA history.

The teams combined to score only 15 points in the second quarter, breaking the mark of 18.

Aldrich also had 14 rebounds to help the Knicks win for the second time in 13 games. Tim Hardaway Jr. added 13 points, including a late 3-pointer that proved to the winner.

BULLS 114, 76ers 107: Pau Gasol had 24 points and 13 rebounds and Derrick Rose – in his third game back after missing two months following knee surgery – had 22 points and eight assists in 28 minutes in host Chicago’s victory over Philadelphia.

The Bulls remained tied with the Toronto Raptors for third place in the Eastern Conference with two games to go for each team.

The 76ers dressed just nine players, but stayed close with an aggressive, attacking style on both ends.

NOTES

TIMBERWOLVES: Point guard Ricky Rubio will have exploratory arthroscopic surgery on his troublesome left ankle.
