Being undefeated at this point of the season is hardly an achievement, but there’s no denying that the Miami Heat in the post-LeBron James era are looking good. Their 107-102 win over the Toronto Raptors was an excellent example of their ability to get points from a number of sources, but obviously led by Chris Bosh, Dwayne Wade and Luol Deng.
