In the race for the top seed in the Eastern Conference, the Miami Heat took another huge step forward to beat the visiting Philadelphia 76ers 99-82 at the FTX Arena on Saturday night.
Both Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro scored 21 points to lead the Heat. Herro became the first Heat reserve in franchise history to score 20 or more points in six consecutive games while Butler scores all of his points in the first three quarters. Gabe Vincent had another strong game in Kyle Lowry’s absence to score 16 points and Caleb Martin had 14 points off the bench.
