Philadelphia 76ers- Miami Heat 96-101
Despite a roster limited to only 10 players and many important absences, the last one of Tyler Herro for a muscle problem, the Miami Heat (17-12) play heroically in Philadelphia, dominating the game for a long time (also +23), making come back from the Sixers (15-14) to then conclude the game in an exciting way, signing the success with a triple from Gabe Vincent, one of the 7 of his sensational performance, 40 ” from the siren. The Nigerian point guard dominated the scene with 26 points, followed by Duncan Robinson (21 points and 8 rebounds), less insecure than usual and emotionally in the technical mood of the match. Great performance also by North Philly native Kyle Lowry (14 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists), who scored a couple of heavy triples in the 2nd half, and by the dog Dewayne Dedmon (10 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists). Philadelphia has always chased and has culpably regrouped too late. In the end it was a question of details, because the Sixers could really win it at the last corner (equal to 96 with 1:24 from the siren), but Miami overall proved to have earned it more. Tyrese Maxey played a splendid match (27 points), irrepressible in his accelerations.

Nate McMillan’s team closed the game early, showing up in the last 12 ‘on +20. The bench had an excellent impact with 14 points from Lou Williams, 13 from Cam Reddish and 10 from Danilo Gallinari, also author of 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 recovery in 24 ‘.
