MIAMI — Observations and other notes of interest from Friday 121-111 victory over the Toronto Raptors: — With 7:10 to play in the third quarter, it was as if Heat center Bam Adebayo said enough was enough. — As he did Wednesday night in Charlotte, with his assists-rebounds double-double, he again was filling those columns to the stage. — But, all the while, Raptors center Jacob Poeltl was filling the scoring column. — So with that 7:10 to play in the third, Adebayo made clear he would not be denied, a straight line drive down the middle for a dunk. — Shortly after he had converted a 3-pointer. — Because there is not a lot of math where the Heat win when Adebayo is being significantly outscored by Poeltl, even if that proved to be the case Friday. — It has been nearly a quarter of a season now wondering what’s wrong with Adebayo’s offense. — How everything in that facet just looks off with the Heat center. — Until that is fully addressed and rectified, mediocrity likely could remain the Heat’s way. — But he stayed with it Friday night. — He found a way to make a difference. — On the Olympic team that won gold in Paris this summer, all that was needed was a complementary player. — With the Heat, there has to be more from Adebayo. — More moments like that dunk. — Moments more like this triple-double. — The Heat opened for a fifth consecutive game with a lineup of Adebayo, Haywood Highsmith, Jimmy Butler, Duncan Robinson and Tyler Herro. — Entering 3-1 with that lineup. — That made it the third consecutive game of Terry Rozier playing as a reserve, after playing as a starter until a two-game absence due to foot soreness. — “He’s a competitor, and he’s a winner,” coach Erik Spoelstra said pregame of Rozier.
