MIAMI (AP) --- Tyler Herro scored 30 points, Bam Adebayo finished with 23
points and 16 rebounds, and the Miami Heat used a 14-0 run in the final moments
to rally past the Philadelphia 76ers 119-109 on Monday night.
Pelle Larsson added 20 points and a career-high 10 rebounds for Miami (40-36),
which kept some realistic hope of getting out of the play-in tournament range
--- or at least getting into one of the top two spots and therefore assuring
itself two chances of making the playoffs --- alive with the win. The Heat are
ninth in the Eastern Conference, in a virtual tie with No. 8 Orlando.
Joel Embiid scored 26 points for Philadelphia, which got a 23-point,
nine-assist, seven-rebound night from Tyrese Maxey. Paul George added 19 points
for the 76ers, who remained seventh in the East.
VJ Edgecombe had 13 points and five assists for Philadelphia, on a night where
many from the Bahamas --- his homeland --- made the short trip to Miami and
waved flags in the arena whenever he did something right.
The 76ers (41-34) rallied from a pair of double-digit deficits. They trailed by
12 in the first quarter before taking a 61-58 lead into the half, then found
themselves down by 15 with 3:29 left in the third quarter. Miami opened the
second half on a 29-11 run, looking very much like it had taken control.
But Philadelphia answered with a 15-2 run to cut the deficit to two late in the
third quarter, then climbed back into a tie at 101-101 following a three-point
play by Embiid with 6:04 remaining. The 76ers took a 107-103 lead on a
3-pointer by Embiid with 3:22 left.
The Heat scored the next 14 points over the next 2:36.
