"Led by Tyrese Maxey's 28 points and 11 assists, the 76ers buried 17 3-pointers in the seven-point win, including two huge triples in the final minute by Kelly Oubre and a compromised Joel Embiid, who was grabbing his right ribs/side throughout the night."
"A pair of missed threes by Bam Adebayo, who converted on four of his eight long-range attempts, and Tyler Herro ultimately made the deficit insurmountable. Clean opportunities were difficult to come by for Philadelphia in the second half. But it drained its two most important looks of the night, while the Heat didn't."
The Miami Heat mounted a second-half comeback against the Philadelphia 76ers in a crucial Eastern Conference matchup, but fell short 124-117. Despite trailing by as many as 16 points, Miami made the game competitive down the stretch. Philadelphia's Tyrese Maxey led the 76ers with 28 points and 11 assists, while the team connected on 17 three-pointers overall. Joel Embiid, despite appearing to be dealing with rib issues, hit crucial late-game threes alongside Kelly Oubre. Miami's Bam Adebayo missed key three-point attempts in the final moments, and Tyler Herro also couldn't convert critical looks. The loss carries significant implications for Miami's postseason positioning in the Eastern Conference.
