The Sixers, without Joel Embiid (back) and James Harden (hamstring) beat the Miami Heat (at full strength) on the second night of a back-to-back by a score of 113-106 to improve to 44-27 and pull to within 2.5 games of the top seed in the East with 11 left to play.

Sixers lead the Heat at halftime, 57-56. Really good stuff from Niang, Korkmaz and Milton.
Have no idea how they’ll do from here, but we’ve seen this performance a bunch this year. Well outmanned, they just kinda spread the floor and drive and kick to punch above their weight. – 8:36 PM

Halftime: Sixers 57, Heat 56. Admirable effort so far from the shorthanded Sixers, who have 27 bench points and have forced 8 Miami turnovers for 12 points. Niang with 13 on 5-of-8 shooting. Korkmaz 10-3-2 on 4-of-4 from the floor. Butler has 15-4-4 for Miami. – 8:35 PM

Jimmy Butler with 15-4-4 at the half
He’s been it so far
Duncan Robinson has actually been responsible for the majority of Miami’s better first half looks, which ties into the overplaying on and off the ball – 8:34 PM

Lots of basketball yet to be played tonight. But so far, a very impressive effort from the @Philadelphia 76ers on both ends of the floor.
Without Embiid and Harden, they lead, 57-56 at half.

Korkmaz: 10 PTS / 4-4 fg / 2-2 3fg
Milton: 9 PTS / 3 REB / 5 AST
Maxey: 8 PTS / 2 AST – 8:34 PM

From Doc Rivers:
-Harden and Embiid being out not related to any setbacks
-Thinks rotation talk is overblown. Most focused on how team plays with stars
-39 MPG for Harden since last game he sat more than team wants moving forward, though also important to ramp up for playoffs – 5:58 PM
