Sixers survive late Heat comeback attempt for second straight win

And exhale.

Philadelphia held on to beat the Miami Heat Monday night 98-91.

Tyrese Maxey led the Sixers with 30 points, shooting 11-of-24 from the field along with eight rebounds and 10 assists. Kelly Oubre Jr. gave the Sixers 22 points and 11 rebounds, and Kyle Lowry had 16 points and four boards against his old squad.

Tobias Harris was once again out with a right ankle sprain, as was Miami’s Jimmy Butler with a right foot contusion.

With this win and the Pacers losing to the Cavaliers earlier this evening, the Sixers are back in the sixth seed of the Eastern Conference.
