Tyrese Maxey scored 27 points, James Harden added 23 and the Philadelphia 76ers took control early on the way to a 119-96 win over the Miami Heat.
Tyrese Maxey drives against Bam Adebayo #13 of the Miami Heat during the second quarter of the game at Miami-Dade Arena on March 01, 2023 in Miami, Florida. Tyrese Maxey scored 27 points, James Harden added 23 and the Philadelphia 76ers took control early on the way to a 119-96 win over the Miami Heat on Wednesday night.
Bam Adebayo scored 20 for the Heat, who beat Philadelphia on the road Monday but trailed by as many as 25 in the rematch at home. Jimmy Butler scored 16 for Miami before leaving in the fourth quarter with right knee soreness.That was a huge part of the story, and so was the second quarter: Philadelphia outscored Miami 37-15 in that period, the best single-quarter differential of the season for the 76ers and the worst single-quarter differential of the season for the Heat.
Not this time. Miami got the lead down to 11 in the third quarter, before it ballooned back to 19 after three quarters and 25 when the 76ers opened the final period on a 6-0 run. It was 102-77 with 10:08 left when Butler walked down the tunnel toward the Heat locker room and didn’t return.
