00:00Maxine leaves his feet
00:02Went to Barlow got it back
00:04Three-pointer part of the way down crawls out Wiggins the rebound
00:10Mitchell sets up here early shot clock open three Barlow defensive rebound
00:15And I should know that Bam Adebayo cut opened up Tyler Heros
00:19That's a sacrificial cut by Adebayo. If you keep doing that, Miami will be fine
00:27How to buy out free throws a moment ago
00:30Making it a one-point game
00:33Miami led by as many as 13 in the first half lost ball
00:40It's way on target and a shot clock violation for the 76ers
00:45Well so far Miami's been playing pretty good defense. We talked about the one turnover
00:50For Philadelphia in the first half they came out with a turnover and then causing a shot clock violation
00:57So Miami's defense certain turned up just a bit
01:04This year Philadelphia fifth fewest turnovers per hand
01:08Pocket pass a little wide
01:10Adebayo comes away with it
01:13Daniel Mitchell turns the corner and scores on the floor
01:16Oh came out Mitchell
01:18A little bit banged up. He's limping right now
01:20They bring his left leg coming up the floor
01:23Big key to this team
01:26Mitchell on the perimeter was smashed up against Embiid. Tyrese Maxey drives, pulls up
01:31Rebound Bam Adebayo is eight
01:38Leads the Heat and rebounding tonight
01:40Now a deep three for Bam
01:43Barlow a rebound for Philly
01:48He's raised their top rebounder tonight with five
01:51Etchkin
01:52Against Hero
01:53Turn around
01:54Shot splashes in
01:55That's Tom
01:56Turn that ISO into a back down
01:58Turn the back down into a sweet fadeaway jumper
02:06All towards crowds Wiggins
02:09Shot clock at 10
02:11Hero drives on Etchkin pulls up draws a foul scores a basket
02:15And Tyler Hero
02:18Answers the call returns the favor
02:22Good ball moving by Miami that went from one side to the other and on the way back
02:28Tyler Hero driving to close out
02:30There's the bump
02:32Grat
02:32Edgecombe grabs his arm and he's gonna get a three-point play opportunity
02:39Two team fouls on Philly in this quarter and that's the first to the game on bj edgecom
02:46Davion Mitchell commented on him limping up the floor and Mitchell's gone out
02:52That's a pace creator that goes out
02:54Hawkins now comes in
02:55And Hawkins likes to push it it's the other guys
02:59Tyler you're gonna push it is Pam is Pella Larson going to push it
03:02Someone else has to play with pace and Davion Mitchell's on the bench
03:06And the face of mid-range jumper no good
03:14Miami in front by a point
03:16Pulling a vacated area hero
03:21That is excellent offense that is going to be on the heat highlight film this season
03:30And on a bio with the basket now leads Miami with 16
03:36Paques defending point of attack
03:38Maxi sidesteps to close out gave it up to Paul George
03:43George knocked down three threes in the first half now he's three of eight from deep in this game
03:47And a pass intended for edge gun
03:50But a foul is called here all right. Let's take a look Miami. This is how they want to play
03:54look at the attack
03:58Kicks it out baseline drive
04:01extra pass right down the middle for a dunk
04:06That is that no one the Roach offense that they adapted this season
04:11Because they want to have a higher level of offensive efficiency
04:15Because then last year they ran into a buzzsaw when they played cleveland
04:18So they want to raise up that offensive level where they can play anybody in the east and win a
04:24playoff series
04:25Two quick fouls called on edge gun
04:27And now four team fouls on filling in the quarters
04:30They're about to go over the running playing with 831 here left in the third
04:35And a part of that no one of the Roach offense they don't generate many shot attempts on pick and
04:40roll scale
04:40No, a lot of drives
04:42And here's a drive by Hawkes and a block and a save
04:45Balls for Lawson five fouls in the corner he's headed to the line
04:49Just to button up that point by the way on pick and rolls this year Miami only takes seven field
04:55goal attempts per game
04:57Generated through either a ball handler or a wall man to give you a little comparison
05:03The second fewest in the league is brooklyn at 13 the most in the league is charlotte
05:07Taking 25 shots a game that gives you an idea of how big the gap is between first and last
05:13in the league
05:13With just seven field goal attempts at pick and roll yeah, it's just to take a deep dive into it,
05:17right?
05:18All they're trying to do is get the ball to the paint
05:20So if you don't want to do it on the ISO you can do it off the screen
05:23But more than likely you're not going to generate a shot off of that
05:26It just kind of starts the offense with the backfill or the baseline cutter or the drip guy
05:33Pella Larson one out of two on the line. He's one of three players for Miami a double-figure
05:39They have 16 here or 14
05:41Pella Larson with the start and 11
05:43If people fling a three in and out a lot of these shots going in and out for Phil for
05:49Philly
05:50Miami another attack here by Hawkins as he goes downhill
05:55And then edge to poke their way and it's picked up
06:01Foul by Tyler is that what you're calling that fast break?
06:04There's got to be a different word. I need a different hatchetive for this one like what gear is this?
06:10There he is playing the deep end and then he just exploded somewhere right here
06:15He disappears and goes to another level
06:19I think he hit warp speed
06:21That's your answer
06:25So you know everyone always got superpowers and i was always the same i was fast
06:30That's all i want to be all i want to be is that i don't care about flying i don't
06:36care about strength
06:37I just want to be fast
06:39He's fast and especially with the ball in his hands one of the great attack players in the league
06:46Forked in scoring leads a league in steals 12th in assists as well
06:50This dude is averaging 29 points nearly seven dimes two steals a game
06:56And he pretty much leads all transition and fast break numbers as well
07:03351 fast break points this year
07:05Down goes here on lost ball on the floor paul george couldn't say to them
07:09It's just a no call at the top the trip is supposed to be automatic in the nba and i
07:16think tyler hero got tripped
07:21Look at this mark you ask and you shall receive how about that i mean look at this
07:26Minutes points field goals fast break points
07:30And steals fun player billy is so lucky to get to watch him play on a nightly basis
07:37And loves to play basketball cut to the basket
07:41Elevates and detonates
07:44And i'm in the cutting right now by miami
07:46Doing more than just standing around watching guys go to the basket going down the lane and b trying to
07:51draw a foul
07:52He hits the deck it's five before right now for miami
07:54It's an attack by hawkales a lead underneath unselfish play
07:58On a file drops it off and it's a basket for wiggins
08:01Nick nurse just chilling on the sideline
08:04Letting philadelphia figure this thing out only down by six
08:0913-4 in the third quarter so far for miami attack paul george deflection andrew wiggins
08:16Barlow trying to keep it alive but it's claimed by miami
08:21Just over five minutes play to the quarter
08:23hero lost the outside shot finds wiggins
08:28hoisting a three and hit it now he's not chilling anymore
08:31Nick nurse the time out he got it wants to travel complaining to the refs i've said this before
08:37Miami could look like the best team in the league when they're moving that ball they're cutting and they're
08:44Playing with energy but they got to be consistent to start this third they've been pretty consistent
08:52Alec burleson and the cardinals are heading to detroit
08:55To take on riley green and the tigers interlink clash in the motor city of sunday night baseball live on
09:01peacock
09:04scowl it's a 16-4 start to the third quarter from miami
09:09The assists six on six main field goals sharing the ball better here in the third quarter than at any
09:15point in time of the game
09:16Well i mean the first quarter was good as well
09:18I think
09:19Start out in a 2-2-1 press and create a turnover and a big miscue out of a timeout
09:24taken by nick nurse in the 76ers
09:27Yeah and so right now they're doing a lot of good things well let's be honest on the other side
09:33The philadelphia has got some shots that went in and out some good shots but i i i like the
09:39energy of the heat right now
09:41And they've maintained that energy even though davion mitchell went out
09:45He's favoring his left leg haquez came in
09:48He initiates the offense and it's edge confiding over the screen and he is called for the foul
09:54I'm surprised by this so the rule of this play is you can't have your feet outside your shoulders unnaturally
10:01white
10:02Yeah, it does look like the unnaturally white base
10:05And they didn't call it they called the foul on edge come interesting call
10:10And you can see the angle there
10:11I mean i understand why he's upset that was a little bit wide
10:26Four fouls in the game on edge come three fouls picked up this quarter got hit with the technical
10:34bam out of bile with the free throw and then there will be two more after this after the t
10:38on edge come let's get a little bit more
10:40jordan you had a great perspective on what justin quoted scowl says i love the drama well i'm here to
10:45report some
10:46i'm sitting right here in front of vj edge come in his interaction with the official and he kept saying
10:50to the official you got to stop that
10:53sh you guys fill in the last two letters he said it four times first time he gave him a
10:58look the official second and third time
11:00told him to stop by the time he said it the fourth time
11:03he got teed up it was a long time coming with that interaction
11:11yeah
11:11took my back you know what i've interviewed him a few times he's a great kid
11:15loves to hoop super competitive you can get yourself lost to the competitive side of this game but
11:22it's cool that he you know he kind of owned it the rookie of the year race is cooper flag
11:26and con
11:27canibble by most accounts but vj's had an outstanding season yeah i mean in the end of the year
11:33he was talking to town but you know it's a long season those other two guys
11:39it's just been so consistent and b lets it fly and hits in the free throw line that's the first
11:44time
11:45and beat got back to that free throw line with the work he hasn't been floating out on the perimeter
11:50prior to that hoop by joelle b it was a 10 love run by miami
11:59action on the perimeter here between on my own hero and a defensive play made by
12:03mb pokes it out of bounds shot clock at seven for miami with a baseline throwing
12:08and yeah seven seconds on the shot clock but what they're trying to do is get him beat away from
12:13the basket and go at him
12:17hero looking for a cutter and impeding movement maxi grabs hold of pello larson to the basket larson
12:24is one of those guys like he doesn't concede anything on that cut he had a chance to seal maxi
12:30he's still 20 feet from the basket and kept him on the back side so when you're when you got
12:36to go
12:36through a player like that it is tough
12:40there's a player that when i played the name was matt harpreet oh yes oh you taught jazz
12:45i mean georgia tech as frustrating a guy to go against as any player in the league
12:53did the broadcasting thing for a while as well
12:57yeah larson on the free throw line he had a good game against indiana last night seven out of eleven
13:02but it was a game that miami lost now charlotte lost last night as well so those two teams are
13:08on level
13:08terms miami owns the tiebreaker their ninth hornet's tenth three games between the 76ers and heat in the
13:16loss column philly's seventh in the east miami's ninth and remember just three games in the season
13:21series this year philly has a win miami has a win so this is the rubber match for the tiebreaker
13:27tonight obviously a game of immense importance in the eastern conference playoff play-in picture
13:34and that's all we want right when adam silver decided to do the play we want meaningful games late
13:40and these games right now are super meaningful quentin grimes from the perimeter connects on a three
13:46only a matter of time before philly figured it out they got a lot of good shot that they missed
13:50early in
13:51in the third quiet game grimes has five averages 14. jacques with contact from edgecombe edgecombe goes
14:01down larson tips and the miss now with five minutes left in the third it's a double figure lead again
14:07for
14:07miami larson is a great pitch for this team he's up to 16 points in the game tonight a three
14:15is short but
14:15it's going to boomerang back to oobre now he'll take it inside and misses again all right they got
14:22numbers line hero got it yeah it beats down because they're going to get a good shot right here by
14:27b4 the
14:27shot is a three from wiggins nobody on bam on a bio for a put back tip home by haquez
14:33they are working
14:34in every angle to win this game it's like they learned their lesson against indiana
14:48bam on a bio has eight triple doubles in his career closing in on a point rebound double double 19
14:54points
14:54nine boards six times as we look at the player spotlight brought to you by shine yeah and bam
15:00out of bio what he's doing right now i mean he'll eat four of six from the field he's efficient
15:06he's
15:06got 19 points going to work outside he's going inside leading the break here's the past six assists
15:15here he is on the cut nice little shuffle path guy's doing it all right now and you know but
15:22you talked
15:23about him he's a triple double it's like saying a pitcher has a no hitter i don't believe in a
15:28commentator oh my goodness thanks scout come on maxi in the paint out of the time out good offense
15:34yeah the oobre here to clean the glass it's interesting they put bona in the game working
15:38that low dunker and philly back on the board with some points in the paint right now miami dominating the
15:46points in the paint 42 to 28. second chance points that's 10 of the game now for philly
15:52here's larson leaves it for khalil ware in the paint outside to jacques war to shoot
15:58launches heads three-pointer from the corner for jaime jacques that's a huge shot
16:03ware had three guys around him and was points enough to find jacques in the corner
16:09eight of the game on the bench paul george leaves it for grimes he drives bounce pass down the baseline
16:15stolen save dead hero out of bounds and it goes back to philadelphia and that is for the time being
16:23they've deemed that as a change of possession and a fresh 24 here for the 76ers with a baseline
16:29throw it yeah great read by hero
16:33oh it's writing to paul george for a shot but he missed and then hero over the top qb1 with
16:39a pass
16:41and a foul adem bona
16:42and hello larson he's having a very nice game tonight scowl 16.7 rebounds and back on the free
16:52throw he grabbed his right knee right away it's a great pass by hero gets it and anytime you're under
16:58the basket and you pump fake you're absolutely going to get clobbered in the nba he goes down he's trying
17:04to walk this thing off
17:09you see him right there right away grabbing that right knee
17:15third foul on a dim bona
17:1876ers have long since been over the foul limit here in this quarter yeah right around like eight minutes
17:2342 seconds and all of a sudden it's really hard to play nba basketball when you're trying to be
17:30physical trying to get back into the game trying to make a run and every foul ends up in two
17:35free throws
17:36and this will give miami 12 free throw attempts in the quarter of which they've made nine
17:43when we talked about bam coming back from the break he's got 19 points and only six shots
17:53drive paul george fade away from the elbow no kept alive by who's great but then on a mile with
18:01the rebound
18:02outlet to hero attacks quentin grimes
18:07swing pass hot girls a little wear misses on a three rebound pinballs on the offside
18:15and it's out of bounds off the 76ers miami paul 14 to shoot with precisely three minutes
18:20i think they're gonna overturn this they did yeah you can just tell by the way that pam looked at
18:26the official
18:32ben taylor trey mannix jenna schroding the officials in this game
18:38man a change of call there back to the 76ers
18:43trails by 15 this is miami's biggest lead they were up by 13
18:48in the first quarter tonight that's a distant memory
18:52but they have been right here in the third quarter dry finish
18:54houbre and and even that possession defensively they were communicating
19:00that was a really good defensive session
19:03just a better shot by houbre
19:08break back saturday after missing the previous eight games
19:12had a left elbow entry bam for three
19:15playing two bigs right now we're trying to secure the rebound
19:19just over two left in the third and maxi forces the issue
19:28with a drive and draws the foul
19:33walking right in front of us right now by the way off the ball
19:36hello larson still looks like he's trying to get whatever happened when he went crashing to the
19:40floor on that adam bona fowel trying to get that sorted out
19:45yeah i mean he's grabbing that right knee and he just didn't have the same energy
19:48that he did before
19:54tyrese maxi is 10th in the nba in free throw percentage he's hit 89 for the year
20:00so it's a dose of good news and bad news for miami because larson doesn't appear to be right
20:05but donovan mitchell who limped off the floor and out of the game earlier in the quarter uh
20:10if davion mitchell excuse me is back here for miami yeah and looks like larson's going to the back
20:17and this is what happened in the first half miami took out bam and all of a sudden they also
20:24didn't
20:25have hero out there but all of a sudden philly made a huge run let's see if these guys can
20:31respond
20:31with bam off the floor who's been the mvp of this game for miami maxi five to five on the
20:38line
20:38tonight 13 points low pickup for jacques he bobbled it
20:47wiggins drives on paul george turn around fade away rounds it out
20:55pass ahead tyrese maxi and a three is on the money for paul george and that that happened because
21:01bonus printed the floor two miami heat players went to him and billy gets a wide open corner three
21:08sacrificial plays made by the sixer bona has been huge for philly seven nothing run right now
21:17doesn't want to wait until the end of the third quarter eric spolster at timeouts
21:20yeah you saw it right there that's how you make winning basketball plays
21:25hosting chicago in front by eight in the second quarter first half double-double already for wimby
21:3112 points 10 points out of the timeout defense by tyrese maxi he blocks jaime jacques
21:38and maxi on the attack and scores he turns defense into offense a one-man gang in that sequence
21:47nine nothing philly run impactful on both into the floor tyrese maxi
21:59the lead is down to six drive mitchell and grimes goes down it's an offensive foul
22:06maybe on mitchell on the offensive foul i did not see this one i know he's down
22:12out let's take a look at the drive here he is against grimes oh yeah elbow right to the face
22:22ooh
22:25like miami has to figure out ways to generate off
22:28that's really good defense by grimes oh they're going to take a look at this
22:36and ben taylor just announced they're going to review for the play for a potential
22:40flagrant foul this is maxi a moment ago yeah you said it playing playing a little bit of defense
22:47then getting the ball and he flies up the court look at that little inside out dribble
22:54a little bit of contact goes right up and a soft touch off the backboard
23:02oh man that's tough that certainly rattles quentin grimes cage down he goes on the elbow and
23:11referees are looking at this for a potential flagrant foul on the elbow by davion mitchell the offensive foul
23:18which makes this five straight empty possessions for miami winding down the quarter
23:25scout closing quarters so important and philadelphia played well at the end of the first
23:32carried that on into the second and now here they are after obviously a really rough go at the
23:37beginning of the third quarter miami built the lead up to 15 points in the third quarter
23:44but a lot of it is bam so right now bam on a bio is a plus 22 in his
23:5127 minutes when he went to the
23:53bench in the first quarter or to start the second the same thing happened now he's on the bench right
23:58now getting his rest and he's gonna have to he's on a back-to-back but it just seems like
24:03miami's offense
24:04does not work as well with bam is off the floor
24:11the crew chief is ben taylor in his 13th year as an nba referee from burfreesboro tennessee
24:19jenna schroeder seventh year from flint michigan trey maddox 15th year great lakes illinois that's the
24:24group looking at this play and still looking at the davion mitchell quentin grimes coming together which
24:31is an offensive foul on davion mitchell so you're in the dallas area when maxi was coming up did you
24:39guys know he was going to be their star because he was like a late i mean in the nba
24:43he was mr
24:44basketball in the state of texas at south garland high school before he went to kentucky but obviously
24:51i don't think anybody anticipated 26 points a game for the last two years 29 points a game this year
24:57he's all gonna be a player he's gonna be an all-star i mean with an all-star again been
25:01most
25:01improved player in his career he just fits he fits space and pace yeah because of his ability to play
25:08fast to attack to beat people off the dribble obviously to be disruptive on the defensive end
25:15of the floor we've seen it more with shot blocks tonight though not steals he's right up there with
25:20casein wallace at the top of the league and steals and amid thompson as well
25:25this has been a long look i think the biggest thing with maxi so a lot of people love to
25:30play
25:30basketball i mean i think this may be fine at any ymca a lot of people love to play love
25:37to play
25:37basketball but from my understanding tyrese maxi loves to work and play you know when he's in the
25:43gym getting shots up he's having fun he has the music blasting he wants to get better and he enjoys
25:50the
25:50process of getting better and that's why he's improved and he works during his time out through
25:56the entry which is why he's hit the ground running coming back after missing the last 10 games for sure
26:00we've seen that davion mitchell delivers a blow to the head of quentin grimes it's got an unnecessary
26:04contact it's going to be a fight foul
26:06it's going to be going on
26:07davion mitchell
26:23good explanation from ben taylor yeah so when you get an offensive foul
26:26that happens to be a flagrant it actually goes down as a team foul so that's 13th foul for miami
26:32they'll get two in the ball and right now they're on a heck of a run
26:37the scouts point three team fouls on miami this quarter first in the last two minutes
26:43so it's two free throws and the ball quentin grimes on the line 84 this year it's lonely up there
26:51mark
26:52i had to shoot a lot of those but what i did
26:56you got no one at high five
27:01i don't like it i don't like it
27:06it's like a different free throw one for two for quentin grimes
27:11native of the houston area mcdonald's all american at the woodlands high school
27:17he flourished last year after the trade from dallas to philly after 22 points a game in the 76ers
27:22i mean we got to be careful with that because they were trying to lose every game and it paid
27:27off for them
27:27because they got bjs
27:28right now miami lost all their momentum and you can feel it now philly this group of half starters
27:39half guys coming off the bench is growing stronger every minute 12 nothing run now for the 76ers
27:46and a run stopping basket is scored by tyler hero yeah heck of a move at the basket and he
27:52used the rim
27:52to protect the shot as we were talking about earlier your best offensive players have to deliver
28:00when another team is on a run and hero does that to stop the bleeding for the time being yeah
28:05coaches
28:06don't have unlimited timeout players gotta make plays maxi from quentin grimes launches and hits
28:15man he is that guy smooth as silk on the three ball from tyrese maxi

30:46exploit when you're out of position come on a three for tyrese maxi no good
30:53that's a good one
30:53Damion Mitchell up ahead to hero
30:57Mitchell follows it up and scores on the corner of the paint

32:11then
32:11maxi so fast and watch him just play right through the space
32:16and he's gonna go right up he's gonna get two free throws out of it

33:20can i make a rule change why can't we just play that sounds good i mean like that ball's not
33:26going in
33:27i like it we gotta do all this puts you on the competition every player can jump up there and
33:31knock that ball free do we really have to stand around and do all this just go up there and
33:35grab it and let
33:36play why why is that is it because little kids in high school can't reach it for the nba
33:42everybody can reach the ball and in this case bam out of bio reaches the ball to jump on the
33:47center
33:47court here's jacques disrupted on the dribble
33:53finds hero
33:56slipping the screen with jacques drive and pull up for the elbow
34:02silky smooth little pull-up jumper at the elbow fundamentals
34:10another basket for hero and now it's a dim bone inside chance to score
34:17to add to the other things that he's done that have been important to the cause here for
34:21philadelphia late third early fourth but he missed it
34:23seven to shoot mitchell having a really nice game tonight and he misses comes up short and did draw
34:38iron jacques got it back still plenty of time jacques who had the initial offensive rebound puts up the
34:45three three george has it
34:54strong side for tyree's maxine paul george crossboard pass to oubre
34:57leaves it for quentin grimes short on a three
35:02hockey with the rebound
35:05tonight for hawkes three of ten eight points but helping out with five fours and four downs
35:12deflection hero picked it back up for my under nine to play in the game
35:16iami leading it by pull and now a drive by hero
35:21off the glass and a score for tyler hero some guys it doesn't matter you could go the wrong side
35:28the offense could not work some guys could just get buckets
35:32he had 31 last night now up to 22 tonight last night hero's second highest scoring game of the year
35:42three with a big answer cut the lead in half huge answer above the break green you got to load
35:49up on
35:50tyree's maxine he's seeing body el oubre has to knock down that shot to create some space and
35:56who grave that basket now has 11. it's banned inside he takes it tumbles he missed the shot
36:01philadelphia heads the other way and a pull up long three oh tyree's maxine no good as he tried to
36:07tie it
36:10an ambitious attempt by maxine and then a drive coast to coast
36:14that's what i like about jaime hockhead he can play through people's space he can own his line
36:20and get to the rim into double figures fifth player for miami with 10 plus tonight and a pocket of
36:29space
36:29umbrae rounded out miami should continue to push the ball right now
36:36teams don't expect you to run to the floor they should keep pushing it right now would have been
36:40a great time to run mitchell sees a gap to drive got maxi off his feet but gave it up
36:46a three for bam on a bio and in and out battling after it wiggins the ball's out of bounds
36:55all right so tyler here on top of the key everybody has eyes on him look at he's attacking
37:01a heavy side right here it doesn't matter that's scoring on three philly defenders the guy gets buckets
37:10what a finish up and outside the square great english on it drops home for tyler hero there's a
37:19timeout now with 7 24 left in the game
37:26in the storied history of the miami heat they've never given up more points in an eight game stretch
37:31than the previous eight games leading into tonight allowing 129 and a half points a game only 94
37:39allowed tonight you just saw eric spolster scowl and i had a great conversation with him before the game
37:43you asked what's up with the defense and he said hey we were defending at a high level
37:48we're capable everyone knows it it's been maddening to see it but i think we're going to be better
37:54tonight and his pre-game supposition has proved to be correct they have been better defensively tonight
38:01yeah and they're just playing winning basketball they're playing energy like they want to win
38:04it's like this is a meaningful game it's it's very different to what we saw these last eight
38:10if bead is back operating in the middle of the miami defense philly just called a timeout and they go
38:18to
38:18a beat out of the timeout and he shoots over pellet larson and scores i was wondering what they were
38:23going to do with that b boda was excellent and it b now is fresh for the last seven minutes
38:28of this fourth
38:30quarter bear in mind that philly was down 15 in the third quarter tonight they were down 15 in the
38:35third quarter on saturday night and charlotte had won the game and they closed the gap again trying to
38:41extend the lead back to a half dozen a missed three by jaime jaquez jr and keep an eye on
38:46that let's see
38:47if miami continues to attack the paint oh and shy out of the cannon on the baseline drive right up
38:52to the cup
38:53quentin grimes that we talked about miami's defense yes it has been better but it's in a fabric of who
38:59you are
38:59when you need to get a stop let's see if they can get stops
39:06mitchell to bam on a bio and he draws a foul
39:11initial pump fake then got him beat off his feet put up the attempt and will go to the free
39:16throw line with
39:176 14 left of the game but we had a heavy dose of maxi when mb was on the bench
39:21and b gets in there
39:22right over the top of larson and then moving to basketball grimes driving to close out getting the
39:29easy dunk no one at the rim
39:31i mean not a lot of contact i thought mb was on his feet but bam will get two out
39:38of it
39:40his 12th and 13th football attempts of the game
39:46andrew wiggins back i'm a hawk his junior outs
39:52that bam has missed his last three shots you know he has to be aggressive this is the fourth
39:58if you're not pushing the ball you're not getting easy basket one way or another your star players have
40:04to deliver in the fourth
40:06a lot of bio and averages 20 points and 10 rebounds he has 21 and 12 tonight that's still a
40:13half quarter of action to go and b quickly puts the shot up as he caught it and draws the
40:20foul chance
40:20for three the old-fashioned way for joel and beat he can tie the game yeah so miami's going with
40:25that zone it's like a one two two zone larson john mb there's the push and b feels it goes
40:31right up
40:33to make an impact right away
40:35so we talked to nick nurse and i'm like well you're going to run that maxi and b2 a game
40:43he's like scout i got to go as long as i can making sure everybody's involved
40:47but i want to make sure i hold on to that play in the fourth quarter if i need it
40:52time out now miami
40:556.04 left in the game and we are all squaring 101 after the mb three-point
41:01play
41:06where they don't play well for three quarters and they check in and they dominate the fourth
41:11mb's been going to work with offensive numbers are just fine
41:15but making this fourth quarter you see it right there over the top of larson and then against
41:20his own that's a three-point play opportunity
41:25right now at b to minus 13. check in they win 7-2 in the fourth quarter and in a
41:31minute 20 seconds they
41:33started the fourth quarter two for eight and philadelphia scored on all three positions since
41:38bean's been back to the game he's hit two shots and grimes had that thrust up the baseline
41:43now how does miami respond big time out called by spo
41:47drive tyler hero looking for his third basket of the quarter he's made a difficult finish off the
41:52window in this fourth quarter but missed there
41:58indeed nodding in the direction of tyrese maxi
42:01two-man game for the lead tyrese maxi deep three from hialeah
42:08maxi saw larsie go underneath and just pulls up playing with the utmost confidence
42:14first lead for philadelphia's in 63-62
42:18here's out of bio imbead hit the deck offensive rebound miss three damion mitchell
42:24steal wiggins for three of the time
42:27hero no
42:31there's miami unraveling on offense very similar to what they did last night against indy
42:38and now a gap to drive maxi difficult shot overshoots the iron tellin arson with it
42:46they should be pushing the ball right now
42:52mitchell on the attack the presence of an b deters him from a shot of the paint
42:56now they'll give it another go on a three-pointer he's missed two in a row
43:00offensive rebound no maxi quicker to the ball than wiggins and then maxi one man fast break misses the shot
43:07wiggins keeps it in play
43:11out of bounds
43:11miami a trip to potentially tie or pull it within one and a pass to the corners out of bounds
43:19hero looking for davion mitchell and it's out of bounds 421 to go
43:24all right two-man game and b maxi you go underneath look at that pull up from the logo
43:34miami had one turnover in the first half they have nine in the second half 10-2 run right now
43:42by philly
43:43maxi a three a moment and go he puts in another one but wave it off offensive foul
44:12Joel Embiid challenge nick nurse huge moment of the game we're back right after this
44:20game and the philadelphia 76ers 408 remaining in the game offensive foul called on Embiid stands yeah
44:30and no shot for maxi so there's more that goes into this all right so you know you're racing the
44:36three-point and b grabs a foul miami gets the ball right now miami they have three timeouts
44:43they have one to burn if anything happened but use it or lose it before the three minute one and
44:49Billy only has one timeout for the rest of the game. So if Miami can go on a run here,
44:53Billy will have to figure this thing out on the fly.
44:56Miami four minutes without a made field goal. Can someone deliver for them? And it's a steal!
45:02Edgecombe snuck out behind Tyler Herro and took it away!
45:07Miami got back, made a turn Kelly Oubre from attacking. Now in the middle of the floor, and Bede pumped
45:15away by Tyler Herro!
45:16Andrew Wiggins beats everyone down the floor, and then they call a goaltend, and Bede scored a basket!
45:24A lot of bodies flying all over the place. That's great hustle by Embiid.
45:28Two teams playing like the season series in position, and the standings are at stake.
45:33Yeah, Embiid turned it over, but watch the hustle as he gets back. He runs down Wiggins. Wiggins goes up.
45:40They call it, and then Embiid down, Wiggins down, bodies flying everywhere.
45:50Got a great look at the goaltend a moment ago on Embiid. Score the basket, Wiggins.
45:5914.7 rebounds tonight for Wiggins. One-point game.
46:06Philly works it around the perimeter, and Embiid, who has been lethal in the middle of the zone,
46:12lets a rip from downtown, and hits. And blows quick kisses to the crowd.
46:16Back up to four, the lead for the 76ers.
46:20And the watch is no good!
46:22But bam on a fire with the put-back jam!
46:26What an answer.
46:30Under three to go. Two-point game.
46:33And Bede is not in the middle of the floor against his zone.
46:37Last time, for the spot, he's standing right now, he drilled a three.
46:42Pacquiao's defending.
46:43Milking the clock down to four.
46:4620-footer doesn't get the bounce.
46:51Miami can tie or take the lead.
46:53Running to the wing for a three!
46:54Oh, time out, Hero!
46:56Remember, no timeouts for Philly.
46:59Great decision to push the basketball by Larson.
47:02Hero's great in those transition threes.
47:04Philadelphia only one timeout left for the rest of the game.
47:08Retaking the lead, Miami at 108-107.
47:11They don't want to use it.
47:12Coaches like to hold on to those timeouts.
47:14Maxey for the answer.
47:16No!
47:16Long rebound, Hawkins has it.
47:19They pushed last time.
47:20And they pushed this time from way outside!
47:23Hero!
47:26Nick Nurse, having these guys figure it out on the fly.
47:30Huge back-to-back threes for Hero.
47:328-0 Miami run.
47:34He can get buckets and has delivered two huge threes.
47:39Rebound, Larson.
47:40Missed by Embiid.
47:41Adebayo's got it now.
47:46Tyler Hero was one of eight on threes before.
47:49He's drilled the last two.
47:50Up to 28 points in the game.
47:53Spin dribble.
47:54Oh, and it opens up in the last second for Hawkins.
47:57There it is.
47:58Nick Nurse, that we haven't seen enough.
48:01Big run by Miami.
48:03Nurse calls timeout.
48:04Embiid hit a three to go up 107-103.
48:08And then since then, an attack for two for Bam Adebayo on a putback.
48:15Two threes by Tyler Hero.
48:17And a drive and finish for Jaime Jaquez Jr. in the 10-0 run for the Miami Heat.
48:23And once Nurse called that timeout and put him up against the wall, if anything goes wrong for Philadelphia, they're
48:34going to pay the price.
48:35Here's Adebayo on the putback after the B-3.
48:38And then in transition, look at Miami pushing the ball where they've had the most success in this game.
48:46Hero with a walk-in three.
48:47And then he runs it back again with a walk-in three out of transition.
48:52That's when Miami's at his best.
48:55Tyler Hero has 10 points in the fourth quarter.
48:5928 for the game to lead all scorers.
49:03And Tyler Hero playing as you would expect a number one option to do in the fourth quarter,
49:11especially given the state of where the Miami Heat are as a team going into this game,
49:16having lost seven of their last eight.
49:18Yeah, the biggest thing with Tyler Hero is trying to find ways where you have the ball you create,
49:23but also let the offense create shots for you.
49:26Let the pace create shots for you.
49:30Remember, seven plays eight, nine plays ten.
49:34The winner of the 7-8 game of the play-in tournament is the seventh seed.
49:39The loser of 7-8 then plays the 9-10 winner for the eighth seed.
49:43So just for those who may still not be totally familiar with the recently introduced NBA play-in tournament,
49:50that's how it goes down for 7-8, 9-10.
49:55Where will Philly go out of the timeout?
49:57But they're down by six.
49:59They just used their last timeout.
50:00A block three hero!
50:02It's not just about offense.
50:04He makes a defensive play in the corner.
50:06And great save by Wiggins.
50:11Now it's Hawkeyes.
50:15A switch, Paul George.
50:17A drive by Hawkeyes.
50:19Larson, show and go.
50:21Stops in the paint.
50:22He's had a fine night tonight.
50:23And just added two more.
50:24One kiss is all it takes for a 12-0 Miami one.
50:31Into the last inning.
50:34Here's Edgecombe with the three.
50:35And it's good.
50:36And there's a foul off the ball as well.
50:39Oh, it's Hawkeyeson foul.
50:40Tyrese Maxey.
50:41Yeah.
50:42This happened to Wiggins on the other end of the floor.
50:45Just smart play by Wiggins.
50:47He was totally out of position against Edgecombe.
50:50If you take a look, Edgecombe broke to the ball.
50:54He got free.
50:57And then Wiggins just runs into Maxey right there.
51:01Flops and gets the call.
51:06Hero fakes the pass.
51:07Runner in the lane.
51:08An exclamation point on what he and the Miami Heat have done down the stretch.
51:16Fumble here by Edgecombe.
51:18Philly's out of timeouts.
51:19It's a 14-0 Miami run to the basket.
51:23And Bean lays it in at 33.7.
51:25Smart play not to foul.
51:29Up ahead to Bam on Mayo.
51:31He's fouled.
51:34And for Philly, they had a foul to give with 28.8 left in the fourth quarter.
51:40Man, Bam, my bio got clocked.
51:43I mean, I felt the contact through here.
51:47I'm about 25 feet away.
51:50I mean, he gets hammered.
51:53Look at this.
51:54Gets rid of the ball.
51:56Boom.
51:58I think the referees are going to look at this.
52:01Yes.
52:02Oh, wow.
52:05It was a little aggressive.
52:0828.8 to go.
52:15I don't understand why Miami does not commit to fast-break basketball all the time.
52:21They are so much better when they play that way.
52:24Well, here's his foul right here.
52:26He's trying to, well, he's trying to get a quick foul.
52:28But man, up by the throat, that's tough.
52:35Philly's a common foul.
52:36Yeah, it wasn't a close fence.
52:38It wasn't a forearm.
52:38It wasn't an elbow.
52:39It's all good.
52:40And now the referees want the teams back out on the floor.
52:43They were using that short review as a de facto timeout.
52:53Miami scored 14 straight points.
52:57You know, you talked about it last week in the studio with Evan Turner and Ahmed about
53:02how important it is for the best players to stop runs by the other team.
53:08And Hero did that tonight in the fourth quarter.
53:11They just found Hakez, by the way, with 26 points.
53:13But the way he does it, it's better for Miami to run the offense and let it,
53:19and let the ball find him.
53:21That's when he's at his best.
53:22And then he can, once in a while, you can go to work and make those plays.
53:26But, man, getting Tyler Hero on the run.
53:29I mean, case in point, when he ran to the wing for one of the threes he hit in this
53:3314-0 run,
53:34they found him in the transition.
53:35And the same thing when he'd be backfield on the paint drive.
53:39Like, he's tough like that.
53:42Third highest scoring game of the year with 30 for Tyler Hero.
53:45Hakez is on the line right now.
53:48Looking at the upcoming national TV schedule, NBC Coast to Coast Tuesday,
53:52tomorrow, Knicks and Rockets.
53:54And this is big in the East playing tournament picture.
53:57Trailblazers and Clippers huge in the West tournament playing picture tomorrow at 11 Eastern.
54:02ESPN on Wednesday, April 1st.
54:04Celtics and Heat here in Miami, Spurs and Warriors.
54:09Tyrese Maxey with a skyscraper three-point attempt.
54:13Fading away from the corner.
54:15It's out of bounds off Miami with 18.5 left in the game.
54:19And 14 on the shot clock.
54:22I mean, this game was teetering on the brink for Miami.
54:27I know 107-103 doesn't sound like it's teetering on the brink,
54:30but think about back-to-back mindset of the team having lost seven out of eight.
54:35And then, not just Tyler Hero, but obviously he was the biggest reference point in a 14-0 game-changing
54:44run.
54:45And Miami is going to win their 40th game of the year against 36 losses.
54:50Philly now at 41-34.
54:52They're two games apart in the loss column.
54:55Note this, however, Miami has the tiebreaker.
54:59They win the season series two games to one by virtue of tonight's 119-109 win on their home court.
55:07And just to clarify, no one wants to be in the 9-10 game.
55:117-8 you can live with.
55:12You win, you're in.
55:14You lose, you've got a home game.
55:15But 9-10, it's tough for everybody.
55:17So, huge game for the Heat tonight.
55:19Miami did.
55:20They were the first ever 10 seed to qualify for the playoffs through the play-in tournament last year.
55:25Obviously, they don't want to do that again.
55:28As I brought that up to Eric Spolster tonight, he said, hey, we're looking to stabilize.
55:33We're looking to build some momentum.
55:35Now, keep in mind when you look at those standings.
55:37Miami does have a tiebreaker advantage over Charlotte winning the series three games to one.
55:42They do not have the tiebreaker with Orlando.
55:45They played them four times and in the play-in tournament quarterfinals as well.
55:50So, they went 0-5 in regular season games against, I'm sorry, the NBA Cup knockout stage.
55:57So, they went 0-5 against Orlando this year in the season series.
56:00So, the tiebreak with Philly now for Miami.
56:03The tiebreak with Charlotte.
56:04They don't have it with Orlando.
56:05Yeah, I mean, the Orlando team right now, they're so up and down.
56:09But one thing about this Miami team, when they play their brand of basketball, they're tough.
56:14And Tyler Herro was a big part of their brand of basketball tonight.
56:1830 points fueled a 16-2 run to close the game.
56:21And Jordan Cornett is with Tyler Herro right now.
56:24Tyler, I talked to you pregame.
56:25I said, what's your mentality offensively?
56:28You looked at me and laughed.
56:29You said, I'm going to be aggressive.
56:30What was clicking for you tonight?
56:33I mean, backs against the wall, man.
56:35We've been playing, you know, not Miami Heat basketball for the last couple weeks.
56:40You know, it was a collective effort tonight.
56:42Everyone came in, you know, open mindset, both sides of the ball.
56:46We worked our tails off on both sides and were able to get the dub tonight.
56:48I was here last week.
56:50This environment did not feel like this because you guys did not look like that Heat team.
56:54Tonight, it was electric.
56:55This crowd fueled you guys.
56:57You got back to Heat basketball.
56:59What was it about your team that looked different tonight?
57:01That's Miami Heat basketball right there.
57:04You know, I think we held them under 110.
57:05That's our goal every night.
57:08We came out, like I said, on both sides of the ball.
57:10We were able to force turnovers, get stops, rebound, run in transition, play at fast pace.
57:15That's what we do.
57:16And we shared the ball.
57:17Everyone got shots.
57:19And we're just happy we got the dub.
57:20Tyler, it feels like everybody's quit on the Heat.
57:22Why should they buy stock on this group down the stretch?
57:27I don't want to say we're playing champs, but we're trying to work our way out to playing.
57:32And, you know, at this time of the year, anything can happen.
57:36You know, we want to play our best basketball.
57:38This is one step in the right direction.
57:40Just got to keep going.
57:41You know, this is an important stretch for us here.
57:43Got another one at home, and then we go on the road.
57:45So we got to take care of business.
57:46We're playing champs.
57:48Sounds like a sneaky reminder, Tyler.
57:49I think a congratulations tonight.
57:51Appreciate you, my brother.
57:52Send it back to the guys.
