WOW! Sixers win a wild one in Miami, keeping hopes of avoiding the Play-In alive

Just another stress-free two-and-a-half hours of Sixers basketball.

Philadelphia was victorious 109-105 over the Miami Heat Thursday night, evening up a crucial season series at 2-2.

Tyrese Maxey returned to the lineup after a two-game absence and dropped 37 points, along with nine rebounds and 11 assists, which tied a career-high.

Joel Embiid went for 29 points in just under 33 minutes of action, shooting 11-of-25 from the floor. Kelly Oubre Jr. had another big second half, finishing with 18 points.

This win puts the Sixers a half game behind the Heat for the seventh seed and one game behind the Indiana Pacers from the sixth seed with five games to go.
