NEW: Heat’s Tyler Herro travels with team to Houston tonight, nearing return from foot injury miamiherald.com/sports/nba/mia…12:13 AM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid were obviously the leaders tonight in Miami, but Kelly Oubre Jr. and the supporting cast made huge plays down the stretch to get a win #Sixers sixerswire.usatoday.com/2024/04/04/six… via @SixersWire – 11:49 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Tyler Herro being back in the fold with a healthy group (hope Terry is ok) really is huge
They need his scoring punch next to Rozier
Having those two PnR threats this time of year can really shift the offense
Also to simplify it even more: they need his pure shooting ability – 11:49 PM

The good news:

Shams Charania @ShamsCharania
There is optimism Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro – out since Feb. 23 with a foot injury – could return to the lineup on Friday vs. the Houston Rockets, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Herro traveled on team’s three-game trip to Houston, Indiana and Atlanta. – 11:44 PM
Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
Tyler Herro is traveling with the team tonight to Houston. – 11:44 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Perhaps a ray of hope: Tyler Herro is traveling with the Heat for the three-game trip that opens Friday night in Houston. Dealing with a foot issue, he has not played since February 23. – 11:43 PM
Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds
Tyler Herro is on the plane to Houston with the Heat. No official word yet; I would think he plays tomorrow night. – 11:42 PM
Miami Heat @MiamiHEAT
It was a game of runs and a back & forth night, but we ultimately fell to the 76ers in the final minutes.

Regarding Rozier limping off late, Spo said: “He banged knees. We will have to see how he feels when we get on to Houston. He said he feels fine. We don’t want to take anyone at their word… He’s tough. Hit that big three down the stretch.” Heat at Houston tomorrow – 10:12 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Erik Spoelstra says Terry Rozier banged knees on that last play
“He says he’s fine.”
But says they won’t ever take his word on it because he’s tough
They will check on it tomorrow before Houston – 10:12 PM

A masterclass from Tyrese Maxey, huge buckets down the stretch by Kelly Oubre Jr, and the Sixers pulled out a crucial victory over the Heat in Miami to pull within a half game of the 7th seed, and thus hosting the 7-vs-8 play-in game.

Heat collapse was something else. Dreadful offense down the stretch. Terry Rozier iso ball and Jimmy Butler getting locked up. Preseason Jimmy over Playoff Jimmy since he was absent. Between Miami and Man U +0.5 losing to Chelsea in stoppage time, I’m spent. Have to be resilient – 9:58 PM

Austin Krell @NBAKrell
When it came to gut-check time, Tyrese Maxey laced contested pull-up 2 after contested pull-up 2 to win the game. It’s one of the biggest developments in his game while Embiid was out.
If you wrote Philly off after the last 2 months, well, perhaps you only did it in pencil. – 9:53 PM

Heat lose to the 76ers, 109-105
– Pretty good effort overall but ultimately needed more from Jimmy (20 points) and Bam (14)
– Maxey had 37 and Embiid had 29 for the 76ers
STANDINGS UPDATE
– Heat fall to 42-34 and back into 7th, a half-game behind the Pacers. – 9:52 PM
Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey combined for 66 points for the 76ers.
Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler combined for 34 points for the Heat.
It’s not that simple, but still a major advantage for the 76ers. – 9:51 PM

Heat clutch game. – 9:39 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Despite how poor this 2nd half has been thus far, that KJ Martin layup brings Philadelphia to within 102-98 with 5:01 to go. They’re still in this game, but they need somebody other than Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid to get going. #Sixers9:38 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Big charge from Caleb Martin
Just a dirty, dirty play tbh – 9:34 PM
Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
To me, this game boils down to two things:
1. Sixers missing some good looks.
2. But because Embiid is still getting in shape, Miami is killing them in transition when they miss/turn the ball over. Joel is a -21, which almost never happens. – 9:31 PM

Miami closed the second quarter on an 8-0 run. The Heat then closed the third quarter with a 10-0 run, capped by a Jimmy Butler and-one to put Miami in front heading to the fourth of a massive game for both sides.
Embiid has 29, Maxey 28 & Rozier 19. – 9:16 PM

Buddy Hield is getting a lot of open looks from deep in this one. He has got to start knocking these shots down to help Philly on the offensive end. #Sixers9:15 PM

Focus now becomes slowing then down
Felt like the zone and press stretches did the best work
But time to start slightly pulling in from these other guys on the wing/corner – 8:46 PM
Wes Goldberg @wcgoldberg
The key for the Heat in the first half was getting out in transition, specifically off turnovers.
Other than that, they are scoring 74.4/100 in the halfcourt.
Need to (a) keep creating fastbreak points and (b) get Jimmy and Bam going. pic.twitter.com/1P4gQrFohC8:42 PM

Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds
The first half was a bit wacky.
– Philly starts game on 17-2 run.
– Then a whole lot of back and forth.
– Then Miami goes on 25-6 run for 46-43 lead.
– Philly immediately answers with 20-1 run for 63-47 lead.
– Heat immediately answer that with 8-0 run to end half down 63-55. – 8:40 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
It’s legit been a week and a half of insane play from Terry Rozier and Haywood Highsmith
Issue is there’s been a drop off after that
Need that to change in this second half – 8:39 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Halftime: Sixers 63, Heat 55
After Miami opened the second with a 17-4 run, Philadelphia answered with a 20-1 run before Miami scored 8 straight to end it. Wild quarter.
Tyrese Maxey has 24-5-7 and Joel Embiid 21 for Philly
Haywood Highsmith has 12 & Terry Rozier 11 for Miami – 8:37 PM
Wes Goldberg @wcgoldberg
This game was getting out of hand, then the Heat uncork an 8-0 in the final 45 seconds before halftime. Trail by a manageable eight points. But they need Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo to have much better second halves. – 8:37 PM

Philly is on a 20-1 run to take a 63-47 lead on that Tyrese Maxey triple. The Heat have had absolutely zero answers for the duo of Maxey and Joel Embiid. Maxey and Embiid have combined for 45 points on 18/27 shooting. They’ve been terrific. #Sixers8:35 PM
Austin Krell @NBAKrell
Maxey’s playmaking has been nearly as bright as his scoring has thus far.
Blew past Adebayo in space, recognized that that meant Reed had to have smaller guys on him, and dumped off to him at last second for a finish. Real heady stuff. – 8:33 PM

The Heat have opened the 2nd Q on a 12-2 run and have cut Philly’s lead to 41-39. Haywood Highsmith has 2 3s off the bench. The zone defense has helped Miami get back in the game, but Philly has had some open looks from deep. Those shots have to drop to bust the zone. #Sixers8:14 PM

No idea what happens in the first round, but it is a cruel world that you can build enough equity over an 82-game regular season to earn the 1-, 2-, or 3-seed in the East and your reward is a first-round matchup with a team headed by Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. – 8:04 PM

Need to find something that works. PnR has been better with Embiid on the bench. – 7:57 PM

Sixers-Heat getting underway here in Miami. As someone here described it, “This is a playoff game.”
Big implications for the result of this one, and the four stars – Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey – are all in uniform. – 7:43 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
As Kyle Lowry was introduced in his return to Miami, PA announcer Michael Baiamonte introduced him as if he was still a member of the Heat to show his respect. Lowry spent 2.5 seasons in Miami. #Sixers7:42 PM

Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
This feels like a game where the Heat need to play at a bit of a faster pace
Not out of control offense
But not be afraid to play into the open floor early

Joel Embiid has had success with shooters such as JJ Redick and Seth Curry in the past. Now, Buddy Hield is studying that film in order to be the next successful shooter next to the big fella. #Sixers sixerswire.usatoday.com/2024/04/04/bud… via @SixersWire – 2:41 PM
