It's all part of growing pains. Or at least that's what coach Pat Riley hopes.

"We're in the process of trying to change everything -- trying to change a culture, something that was embedded in the team throughout last year and most of this season," he said. "It's a tragedy when a team has something that dies inside them and they're still playing. And that's what happened to us. Something happened where whatever it was, it died inside while we were still breathing and it stuck. It stuck the whole year."

Riley is hopeful injured veterans such as Dwyane Wade, Alonzo Mourning and Udonis Haslem, all of who are out for the season with injuries, will set an example for his younger players even while the older guys are recovering.

Riley is deadly serious about changing the losing culture.

"It has to do with everybody that was here last year and this year, including myself," he said. "There really was a broken trust and that's the first thing we're going to have to get back. They're going to have to find a way to trust me again and I'm going to have to find a way to trust them again.

"That's what this process at the end of the season is all about, and on into the summer the same way, and into September. I think that's where we are as a team."

RAPTORS 96, HEAT 54: Miami played one of the worst games in franchise history Wednesday, and that goes a long way. The 54 points were the third-lowest total in NBA history in the shot clock era, which began in the 1954-55 season.

Miami's 25.6 percent field goal shooting was also a franchise worst. And the Heat's 26-point first half was a franchise worst.

"I feel real bad for them that they couldn't make a few shots just to get out of the record books," coach Pat Riley said, "but it's the way it goes."

The Heat only had seven healthy players and five -- guard Chris Quinn, guard Daequan Cook, center Earl Barron, forward Bobby Jones and center Joel Anthony -- are borderline NBA-quality players right now.

The Heat, which missed a chance to win back-to-back games for only the second time this season, never got closer than 30 points in the second half. It didn't get closer than 20 from the 6:45 mark of the second quarter. It never got within double digits after the 3:59 mark of the first quarter.

"It's obviously a very tough one to stomach," said Quinn, who played all 48 minutes because of a thumb injury to starting point guard Jason Williams.

Riley is sure better days are ahead.

"We'll have our day again," he said. "I don't know when, but we'll have our day again."
