76ers-Heat Preview

The Philadelphia 76ers won't catch the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference standings, and they're doing everything possible to avoid facing their trio of superstars in a first-round playoff matchup.

Miami's recent dominance of Philadelphia furthers that notion.

The visiting 76ers continue their pursuit of the conference's fifth seed Friday night and hope to end a six-game losing streak against the Heat.

Surprising Philadelphia (37-34) has rebounded from a 3-13 start to move into sixth in the East, 2 1/2 games behind fifth-place Atlanta after beating the Hawks 105-100 on Wednesday.

First-year coach Doug Collins, who took over a team which finished 27-55 in 2009-10, has remained humble regarding the 76ers' resurgence but knew the importance of Wednesday's victory.

"That was one of the most gratifying wins of the season," Collins said.

Louis Williams scored 17 points to lead seven players in double figures for Philadelphia, which has won three of four. Andre Iguodala and Thaddeus Young scored 16 each. Iguodala, who has been bothered by right knee tendinitis most of the season, sat out Saturday's 110-101 loss at Portland.

"We need this, but we have not made anything yet," said Elton Brand, who added 13 points and 11 rebounds. "We haven't been guaranteed a spot. We still have games to go."

If the playoffs started today, the 76ers and third-place Heat would meet in the first round, which may not bode well for Philadelphia.

Miami (49-22) has won six straight in the series and both meetings this season, though each victory came during the 76ers' dismal start. The Heat won 97-87 in Philadelphia on Oct. 27 and 99-90 at home Nov. 26.

Miami is fighting for playoff positioning of its own. The Heat are 2 1/2 games behind East-leading Chicago and 1 1/2 back of second-place Boston after a 100-94 come-from-behind victory Wednesday against Detroit.

Dwyane Wade scored 24 points, Chris Bosh added 23 and LeBron James scored 19 with eight rebounds and seven assists as Miami needed a 15-0 run to begin the fourth quarter to overcome an 11-point deficit.

The Heat have won six of seven following their season-high five-game losing streak.

"We were getting our tails handed to us and it was humbling through three quarters," coach Erik Spoelstra said. "There is no easy way in this league, there really isn't."

Miami was playing its first game without point guard Mario Chalmers, who is expected to miss two weeks with a sprained right knee, and center Zydrunas Ilgauskas (right foot infection). Mike Bibby made his first start in place of Chalmers and scored five points.

Wade scored 30 points in the first meeting against Philadelphia, then had a game-high 23 in the next meeting.

Iguodala scored 20 points in the November matchup. He averages 14.3 points in his career against the Heat, which is his second-lowest to only the 14.1 he averages against Houston.

The 76ers have lost five straight road games in the series since a 101-96 overtime win Feb. 23, 2008. They have dropped 11 of their last 13 visits to Miami.

Wade, James lift Heat past 76ers 111-99

MIAMI (AP) They've been the "Big 3" from the moment they signed in Miami last summer, and they'll stay that way for the rest of their Heat tenure.

Sometimes, one will stand above the others.

And on Friday, Dwyane Wade was Miami's star among stars.

Wade finished 39 points, 11 rebounds, eight assists, five blocks and three steals - an effort matched only by Shaquille O'Neal in the last 25 seasons, according to STATS LLC - and the Heat used two big scoring runs to beat the Philadelphia 76ers 111-99 on Friday night.

"I really had no clue what I had going," Wade said.

The 76ers apparently had no clue how to stop it, either.

LeBron James finished with 32 points, Chris Bosh added 20 points, with both grabbing 10 rebounds. Wade's stats somehow managed to overshadow both those efforts, especially after he personally outscored Philadelphia 18-17 in the fourth quarter.

"They just had another gear," 76ers coach Doug Collins said. "Those three guys got 91 points. That's tough to beat."

Down by 16 in the first half, Miami used a 23-2 second-quarter run to take the lead, then had a 24-5 spurt to erase an eight-point hole and put the game away in the fourth. The win, combined with Boston's loss to Charlotte, moved the Heat (50-22) within a half-game of the Celtics (50-21) for the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference.

"They're going through a transition right now that every team goes through," James said of Boston. "We had ours a few weeks ago."

Wade shot 7 for 8 and had three blocks in the fourth, one more than Philadelphia managed in the entire game. And when things looked particularly bleak for Miami, Wade willed the Heat back into it, scoring twice to tie it shortly after the 76ers were up 88-80 and seeming in control.

James set up James Jones for a 3-pointer with 6:37 left that put Miami up for good, Wade added a three-point play a minute later, then the 2006 NBA finals MVP knocked the ball away from Elton Brand and dunked for a 100-92 Heat lead.

"Dwyane was simply sensational," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.

James got loose for another steal and dunk to make the margin 11 shortly afterward, and in a flash, it was over.

"We'll take it any way we can get it," Bosh said.

Lou Williams scored 24 points for Philadelphia, which got 15 more from fellow reserve Thaddeus Young. Jodie Meeks added 14 for Philadelphia, which was outscored 34-17 in the fourth. Spencer Hawes and Jrue Holiday each scored 13 for Philadelphia, which held those Miami players not in the "Big 3" club to 7 for 25 shooting.

Problem was, Wade, James and Bosh combined to shoot 34 for 58.

"It's so hard to guard those guys when they're rolling like that," Brand said.

Wade was rolling in ways not seen often. The last stat line like the one he finished with Friday came nearly a decade earlier to the day, March 23, 2001, when O'Neal finished with 40 points, 17 rebounds, eight assists, five blocks and three steals for the Los Angeles Lakers against Washington.

O'Neal won a title that season. Five years later, he and Wade brought one to Miami. Now the Heat are thinking they can hoist the trophy in June again, and nights like this suggest that might very well be possible.

"There's going to be games where all three of us are on, like tonight," James said.

Miami led 51-50 at the half, a score that could provide a misleading impression that the opening 24 minutes were nip-and-tuck.

Not hardly.

Philadelphia had an 18-6 run to take a 42-26 lead with 6:19 left in the half. The Heat were getting run out of their building, and by their hand - the 76ers forced 12 turnovers for 16 points in the game's first 18 minutes, and not coincidentally, that separated the teams over that span.

When the turnovers stopped, the game changed.

The Heat made their next eight shots, seven of them either layups or dunks, on the way to a 23-2 run over the next 5 1/2 minutes to take a 49-44 lead. Wade had 13 points, Bosh and James combined for the other 10.

In the third, Philadelphia clearly had recovered from the Miami blitz to close the half, taking an 82-77 lead into the final 12 minutes.

Handling the second Heat run was simply too much.

"This team is a great team," Collins said. "They've got so many different options they can go to and then when they go to that small lineup, they are lethal."

Notes: Miami's last 50-win season was the 2005-06 championship campaign. ... Wade, listed at 6-foot-4, blocked a shot by the 7-foot-1 Hawes in the first quarter. ... Brand was whistled for his fourth technical foul of the season. He had four in the previous six seasons combined. ... Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki, the world's No. 1 women's tennis player, sat courtside, a few seats away from Serena Williams. ... Wade tossed a towel over the head of Heat official scorer Peter Abraham in the fourth quarter.

THE FACTS: The Miami Heat defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 111-99 Friday night at AmericanAirlines Arena. Guard Dwyane Wade led the way with 39 points while LeBron James added 32. Forward Chris Bosh finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds. The Heat trailed most of the second half before taking control midway through the fourth quarter. Much of their early-game struggles were caused by turnovers, but the Heat calmed down in the second half. It was the Heat's seventh win in eight games. The 76ers were led by Lou Williams' 24 points off the bench.

The teams could see each other soon in the postseason. The Heat hold the No. 3 seed while the 76ers are No. 6.

QUOTABLE: "It's really only about us. It seems like a month ago we were in training camp ... We're trying to focus right now on improving ... We started out about as sloppy and uncharacteristic as we can. It was very puzzling with the turnovers we had in the first half."
-- Heat coach Erik Spoelstra

THE STAT: James, Wade and Bosh combined for 47 of the Heat's 51 first-half points, keeping them in contention.

TURNING POINT: The Heat went on a 12-2 run midway through the fourth quarter, keyed by Wade. At one point, Miami scored seven points in 48 seconds. Swingman James Jones hit a 3-pointer from the corner to give the Heat a 75-72 lead.

QUOTABLE II: "Tough game and they beat us in a lot of the tough-area categories, particularly on the glass."
-- Erik Spoelstra

HOT: Wade put together one of his most efficient games of the season. He shot 15 of 26 from the field to shake off a slow start. He scored went scoreless in the first quarter, but was productive in the second and fourth quarters.

NOT: Andre Iguodala was nearly invisible for the 76ers. He scored just 10 points on 3 of 10 shooting. When he plays solid, Philadelphia is a much better team. The 76ers won't win too many when Williams has to be the leading scorer.

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: Wade fell just two assists shy of a triple-double. Along with his 39 points, he had 11 rebounds and eight assists.

INSIDE THE ARENA: Serena Williams, rapper Rick Ross.

GOOD MOVE: The Heat put the ball in the hands of their playmakers, James and Wade, when it counted. After the game, Spoelstra said he had no problem with relying too much on his All-Stars. The Heat had just 13 bench points, but it's easier to withstand when James and Wade are playing so well.

BAD MOVE: The 76ers were six minutes from showing this could be a competitive postseason series, but they completely collapsed. After being able to run with the Heat during the first three quarters, they appeared to run out of gas when Miami picked up the pace.

ROOKIE WATCH: 76ers guard Evan Turner scored two points in eight minutes.

NOTABLE: Heat center Zydrunas Ilgauskas missed his eighth straight game because of a foot infection. He is questionable for Sunday's game against Houston. Wade and James scored at least 30 points in the same game for the fifth time this season.

UP NEXT: For the Heat, Friday vs. Philadelphia, Sunday vs. Houston, Tuesday @ Cleveland. For the 76ers, Sunday vs. Sacramento, Monday @ Chicago, Wednesday vs. Houston.
