The Miami Heat (42-22) wrap up their toughest week of games this season when they host the Philadelphia 76ers (39-23) Saturday night at the FTX Arena with tip-off set for 8:00pm.
The No. 1 team in the East notched two solid wins, first against the Chicago Bulls 112-99 on Monday and in their last game, a 113-107 victory on the road against the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday. They were just seconds away from a victory against the Milwaukee Bucks the previous night — but a win against the second place 76ers tonight, the fourth consecutive team Miami faces that are chasing them at the top of the East, would certainly take the sting off that agonizing fourth quarter meltdown.
