Heat's Dragic takes yet another shot to face in win over Raps

Goran Dragic simply cannot keep his face unmarked. The Miami Heat point guard took an elbow to his right eye in the third quarter of Saturday's matchup with the Toronto Raptors, keeping him out for the rest of the game - although Miami's margin of victory could have played a role in that.

This is nothing new for the 30-year-old Slovenian, who over the course of his career seems to have taken more facial shots than a boxer. It's not his first such experience with the Raptors, either; in last spring's playoffs, Dragic took a DeMar DeRozan elbow.

A couple of days later, he took an errant ball to the beak.

The Heat didn't lose face on Saturday, however, defeating the struggling Raptors 104-89.
