Doc just compared tonight’s win over the Heat to the Sixers’ November win in Denver without Embiid and a November win in Sacramento when four starters were out (five if you include Simmons). I’d add the January OT win against Memphis — the last time Embiid sat out a game. – 10:15 PM

One of the most absurd back-to-backs ever but not shocking if you have been watching the entire season. Never seen a team have so many inexplicable losses and inexplicable wins.
Sixers beat Miami, 113-106. They are 44-27. Shake Milton kept them afloat, Tyrese Maxey ended it. – 9:54 PM

You got decently efficient Jimmy Butler and aggressive Kyle Lowry
Offense was ugly at times but that’s not what lost them this one
It was the late game attacks Philly put on Herro and others, but mostly the lazy close outs all game
Far from a good defensive performance – 9:54 PM

Final: Sixers 113, Heat 106. Philly moves to within two in the loss column of Miami for first in the East, and wins without its two stars after losing last night here to Toronto without Fred VanVleet and OG Anunoby. Pretty wild back-to-back. – 9:53 PM

The Sixers, without Joel Embiid (back) and James Harden (hamstring) beat the Miami Heat (at full strength) on the second night of a back-to-back by a score of 113-106 to improve to 44-27 and pull to within 2.5 games of the top seed in the East with 11 left to play.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ – 9:50 PM

Last night: Shorthanded Raptors beat full-strength Sixers.

Going to be a virtual tie for 2/3/4 in the East after tonight.

For his 1st real minutes in a long time, Furkan Korkmaz is playing very well. He’s up to 10 points and that triple gives Philadelphia a 42-39 lead. Timeout Erik Spoelstra. #Sixers – 8:15 PM

Heat 32, Sixers 26 at the end of the first. Shorthanded Sixers are hanging in there, but that foul on Butler outside the three-point arc right before the buzzer was not ideal. Maxey has 8 points on 3-of-7 shooting. Milton with 7 points and 3 rebounds. – 8:05 PM

Usually during games where you can sense the team coasting, this second unit gives them the boost
I’ve really liked the Martin-Morris combo on both ends
That PnR between Herro and Butler sums it up
3 spacers means decisions on the coverage, leaving an open Butler dive – 8:05 PM

An *extremely* questionable 3-shot foul called on Milton at end of first quarter but Sixers opt not to challenge. Jimmy Butler grifts three points and a 32-26 Heat lead after 1. – 8:04 PM

Shake Milton having one of those y’all need to play me more games. The reserve guard has seven points on 3-5 shooting. The Sixers trail 29-26 with 0.9 seconds left in the first quarter. – 8:03 PM

After going scoreless in 3 straight games, Shake Milton has 7 points here in the opening quarter off the bench. I know somebody has to score in a game with no Joel Embiid or James Harden, but this is a good sign. #Sixers – 8:02 PM

![](https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/816134648141062144/hiXGeOif_normal.jpg)
An earlier substitution than Joel Embiid would normally get (so maybe there’s more?), but the Sixers’ center rotation to start the game is Paul Millsap and DeAndre Jordan. – 7:54 PM

Pretty amazing Miami has had the season it has – leading the East – with its starting five having played in 40 percent of its games (including tonight). Heat coach Erik Spoelstra should be one of the frontrunners for Coach of the Year this season. – 7:51 PM
