76ers-Heat Preview

The Miami Heat have two wins in their three games without LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, with big thanks to one of the team's reserves.

With the status of both James and Wade unclear for Saturday's home game against Philadelphia, the Heat may again need big contributions from Mike Miller to get a 15th straight regular-season win over the 76ers.

Having already clinched first place in the Eastern Conference, Miami (59-16) can afford to rest James, who is dealing with a tight right hamstring, as well as Wade, who has multiple right leg injuries. Both were listed by the team as probable starters for Friday in Charlotte but wound up sitting along with Ray Allen, who suffered a right ankle injury in Tuesday's loss to New York.

Despite being without the combined 59.0 points per game from those three, the Heat beat the Bobcats 89-79, getting a season-high 26 points from Miller.

Miller hit 7 of 11 3-pointers, and is averaging 18.7 points in the last three games - 14.5 better than his season average.

"He is a big-time weapon that we have," coach Erik Spoelstra said of Miller, a career 40.4 percent shooter from long distance. "He has absolutely bought into the sacrifice. You know the long season of an 82-game season, this is probably the healthiest he has ever been at this time of year and you see his value. He can strike it hot at any moment and go on a string of four, five, or six in a row."

The Heat also got 18 points from Chris Bosh and 14 from Rashard Lewis. Mario Chalmers had six points and seven assists after missing three games with a sprained ankle.

Miami has outscored the 76ers by an average of 12.4 points in the season's first three meetings, and hasn't lost in the regular season in the series since March 15, 2009.

Philadelphia defeated Atlanta 101-90 on Friday for its fifth victory in seven games, but the late-season surge might be coming too late. The 76ers (31-44) are five games back of Milwaukee for eighth place in the East with seven to play, but they're not giving up.

They're 3-2 on the road since March 24 after losing their previous 15 away from Philadelphia.

"These games are important for us," coach Doug Collins said. "I've got young players. Little things that you keep teaching, that's why we're going to coach and teach and play these games to the finish."

Collins has seen miserable shooting performances from leading scorer Jrue Holiday (18.1 ppg) over the last two games, as he's gone a combined 5 of 38 (13.2 percent) for 14 points against the Bobcats and Hawks.

Evan Turner has assumed the primary scoring load recently, averaging 20.8 points over the last four contests.

Spencer Hawes has also been solid inside for Philadelphia lately, averaging a double-double over his last 13 games with 16.0 points and 10.3 rebounds. Hawes averaged 10.1 points and 6.6 rebounds in his previous 62 games.

Thaddeus Young totaled 49 points on 23-of-35 shooting with 18 rebounds in his two games against Miami this season.

LeBron returns, Heat top 76ers 106-87

MIAMI (AP) LeBron James went through a series of tests before the game, all under the watchful eye of the Miami Heat training staff and some coaches.

He passed with flying colors, and looked good as new afterward.

James scored 27 points after a three-game absence caused by a strained right hamstring, five other Miami players reached double figures and the Heat moved closer to securing home-court advantage for the entire NBA playoffs by topping the Philadelphia 76ers 106-87 on Saturday night.

"He knows his body better than anybody," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "So he knew how to pace himself and put his fingerprints on the game."

Playing only 31 minutes, James made 12 of 17 shots from the field and added five assists and four rebounds. Rashard Lewis scored 14 points, Norris Cole added 13 and Chris Andersen grabbed 15 rebounds - as many as he had in any two previous games this season combined - for the Heat, whose magic number for clinching the league's best regular-season record was trimmed to two.

Miami moved to 60-16, one win shy of matching the franchise single-season record. The Heat got there after outscoring Philadelphia 29-11 in the fourth quarter.

"It's special," James said. "We've got a special team. We've been saying that all year. We don't take this moment for granted. There's not many teams in NBA history that have won 60 games."

Jrue Holiday scored 18 points for Philadelphia, which got 14 from Evan Turner and an 11-point, 11-rebound night from Spencer Hawes. Dorell Wright and Nick Young each scored 10 off the bench for the 76ers, but Philly's reserves were outscored 53-28.

"That's a championship team, a veteran team, so they know how to close games," Wright said. "But I'm not taking anything from us. I think effort was there. We played hard."

The Heat were without Dwyane Wade (sore ankle and knee) and Chris Bosh (sore right knee).

A steal and dunk from James with 2:41 left just about sealed the outcome, giving the Heat - who led by just one entering the final quarter - what was then their biggest lead, a 16-point margin at 101-85.

Miami has now beaten Philadelphia in 19 of the teams' last 20 meetings, including playoffs. In the regular season only, it's 15 straight wins for the Heat.

"I can't remember the last time we beat them," Hawes said.

And while Miami will go into the Eastern Conference playoffs as the No. 1 seed, a disappointing season for the 76ers is winding down without a single appearance from Andrew Bynum. The 76ers will miss the playoffs, after Milwaukee wrapped up the last of the Eastern Conference's eight available spots with a win over Toronto later Saturday night.

"We swung for the fences," Philadelphia coach Doug Collins said. "And I give our organization a lot of credit. We went for a home run and unfortunately it didn't work for us this year. But I will tell you, the guys in the locker room, I'm incredibly proud at how hard they've played every single night. We've competed and we've had some really tough losses but we can only grow from that."

Spoelstra said before the game that he would carefully manage James' minutes, and he wasn't kidding.

James checked out for the first time after playing 7:45 of the opening quarter, his shortest stint to open a regular-season game since October 2010 - his first week of action with the Heat.

Then again, it didn't seem like the Heat would exactly need much from James at that point.

Miami made its first four 3-point attempts, shot 64 percent in the opening quarter compared with 29 by Philadelphia, and led 33-18 - outscoring the 76ers 20-5 over the final 6:44.

Things flip-flopped in the second quarter.

Philadelphia started dominating from the field (55 percent to Miami's 30), and a 15-8 rebounding edge that quarter helped the 76ers pull within 50-46 at the break. For Miami, it was a statistically odd half, with the Heat far better from outside the 3-point arc - 8 for 13 - than its 13-of-32 pace from 2-point range in the opening 24 minutes.

"It was a good win," Spoelstra said. "The guys worked the game."

Holiday scored 11 in the third quarter, including a 3-for-3 effort from 3-point range, and the 76ers were within 77-76 entering the fourth. But the Heat started the final quarter strong. James found Ray Allen for a 3-pointer with 6 minutes left that pushed Miami's lead back to 10, and win No. 60 was in the books a short time later.

For the Heat, 60 wins sounds nice, but it's all about 16 - the number of postseason wins needed to capture the NBA title.

"I don't think the number matters, the number that you get to, because anything happens when you get to the playoffs," Allen said. "When you see teams that do have 60 wins, it does incite a little fear, because you know that they were pretty good and consistent throughout the regular season. We hope that plays in our favor, but for the most part, no team cares about what happens in the regular season anyway."

NOTES: James made a third-quarter jumper to become the 32nd player in NBA history to eclipse the 21,000-point mark for his career. ... Miami has six games left, starting with a potential first-round playoff preview with Milwaukee at home on Tuesday. ... The Heat led by a single point after three quarters in both visits by Philadelphia this season.

Notebook: Heat 106, 76ers 87

Zachary Paul, for NBA.com
Posted Sat Apr 06, 2013 11:07 PM - Updated Sat Apr 06, 2013 11:07 PM

THE FACTS: LeBron James was back for the Miami Heat.

And Chris Bosh was gone.

Despite the change in unavailable player, the Miami Heat still found another way to win with just one-third of their All-Stars in the lineup. In his return, James scored 27 points to lead the Heat to a 106-87 victory against the Philadelphia 76ers Saturday at AmericanAirlines Arena.

James had missed the last three games with a sore hamstring. His return meant the Heat were able to send Bosh to the sideline. He sat with a hyper-extended knee, joining Dwyane Wade (knee) as the Heat's injured stars.

It's not as if the Heat needed to be at full strength to defeat the fading Sixers. James received plenty of help, with five other players scoring in double-figures. Reserve Rashard Lewis finished with 14 points, his third-highest total of the season. Ray Allen and Mario Chalmers each scored 11 points while Norris Cole and Udonis Haslem added 10.

The Sixers kept it close before the Heat took control midway through the fourth quarter. Jrue Holiday led Philadelphia with 18 points.

QUOTABLE: "A lot of contributors. From that standpoint, it was a good win. Obviously, it was good to see guys who had been sitting out get their minutes. LeBron was able to play efficiently. There were no problems after this game. We'll see how he feels tomorrow."
-- Heat coach Erik Spoelstra

THE STAT: The Heat made 14-for-24 from the 3-point line.

TURNING POINT: Allen hit two 3-pointers to key a 7-0 run that pushed the Heat's lead to double figures midway through the fourth quarter.

QUOTABLE II: "We knew the 3-point line was going to be a real problem. They cranked it up defensively. LeBron made spectacular plays. They hit every three. When they shoot the ball like that and stretch you like that, you're not going to beat them."
-- Sixers coach Doug Collins

HOT: Before the game, it was announced James would only play limited minutes. So he made the most of his opportunities. After missing three straight games, he picked up right where he left off. James played just 29 minutes, but did finish the game on the court.

NOT: The Sixers defense had all sorts of struggles against the Heat bench. Five reserves had impacts for Miami, with Lewis doing most of the damage. The Heat got 53 points from the bench.

GOOD MOVE: It's not good for the fans, but the Heat continue to sneak in rest days for their star players. Bosh and Wade were once again able to rest nagging injures. With two days off before the next game, the break extended break will be beneficial for Bosh.

BAD MOVE: Sixers forward Evan Turner was having a solid night until he turned his ankle while driving to the basket with 38.2 seconds left in the third quarter. Turner hobbled off the court without assistance. When he returned, he wasn't the same. He went scoreless after the injury, finishing with 14 points.

NOTABLE: James surpassed the 21,000-point mark ... Sixers forward Dorrell Wright, who missed Friday's game against the Hawks with a sore elbow, was back in the lineup ... The Heat improved to 33-4 at home .... Bosh and Wade will continue to be evaluated. Spoelstra said there is no rush in getting Wade back in the lineup ... Heat center Joel Anthony made his first start of the season ... Allen made his return after missing Friday's game because of a mild ankle sprain.

UP NEXT: For the Heat, Tuesday vs. Milwaukee, Wednesday @ Washington, Friday vs. Boston. For the Sixers, Tuesday @ Brooklyn, Wednesday vs. Atlanta, Friday @ Washington.
