Phew, what a night.
If there was ever an NBA game that epitomized “basketball is a game of runs” it was the Sixers’ dramatic 109-105 win over the Miami Heat Thursday. It felt like the Sixers would get control of the game, build a lead and fall apart at the end of each quarter — until the fourth, of course.
The victory puts the Sixers very much in play for the all-important, Play-In-avoiding sixth seed. They sit one game behind the sixth-seeded Pacers and a half game back from the seventh-seeded Heat with five games left to play.
