(Philadelphia, PA) — The Miami Heat (36-46) finished off the 2014-15 season with a road win over the Philadelphia 76ers (19-63) Wednesday night, 105-101, in a matchup featuring two teams with nothing to play for, except draft lottery position. The Heat were eliminated from playoff contention on Tuesday following the Indiana Pacers’ home victory against the Washington Wizards.
The 76ers, on the other hand, effectively wrote off their season before it began in hopes of earning the top pick in this year’s draft.
Nevertheless, game number 82 was a spirited affair.
With stars Dwyane Wade, Goran Dragic, Luol Deng and Hassan Whiteside all resting, Coach Erik Spoelstra trotted out a different starting lineup for a franchise-record 31st time this season.
