In a pivotal Eastern Conference matchup, the Philadelphia 76ers secured a crucial 98-91 victory over the Miami Heat, significantly impacting the standings. Tyrese Maxey led the charge with a stellar performance, scoring 30 points, 10 assists, and grabbing 8 rebounds. Kelly Oubre Jr. also made significant contributions with 22 points and 11 rebounds, alongside Kyle Lowry, who, facing his former team, scored 16 points. This victory allowed the 76ers to leapfrog Miami in the standings, pushing the Heat down to the eighth spot. The game was marked by a significant 20-2 run by the Sixers in the third quarter, demonstrating their dominance. Despite a valiant effort from the Heat, including a rally from a 17-point deficit to tie the game in the fourth quarter, they couldn't complete the comeback. The outcome of this game is especially critical as both teams vie to avoid the play-in tournament, with the 76ers now temporarily in sixth place in the East.

In his past 10 games, Tyrese Maxey now has 30-plus-point outings against the Bucks, Knicks, Celtics and Heat. He'd struggled a bit to produce against top-tier competition earlier in the season -- particularly without Joel -- but he's turned a big corner there the past month.
New ESPN story: Kyle Lowry went soaring over the scorer’s table Thursday, one of several highlights the soon-to-be 38-year-old guard had in a much-needed 76ers win over his old team Monday night. “When you get to a certain age, you ain’t got no brakes.” https://t.co/8ctZhhvw3z

This Heat-Sixers game has been chaos personified. But, after a big run to open the third by Philly and another to open the fourth by Miami, Sixers have an 88-85 lead with 5:39 remaining, setting up what should be a very entertaining finish.
76ers lead down to four.
End of third quarter: 76ers 79, Heat 65. Heat shooting 37.9 percent from the field and have committed 12 turnovers.
Kyle Lowry doing a lot of Kyle Lowry things tonight for the 76ers.
The Sixers have a 17 point lead over the Heat. 68-51 just over 7 minutes left in the third.
It's now a 20-2 run for the Sixers since the final seconds of the first half, and Philly leads Miami 68-51 with 7:07 to go in the third. Kyle Lowry, playing against his former team, has been right in the middle of all of it.
76ers lead up to 17. Heat has scored two points in the first five minutes of the third quarter.
Fair's fair -- that was probably Mo Bamba's best three-minute run as a Sixer just now.
76ers open the third quarter on a 12-2 run and lead by 12.
