PHILADELPHIA–The Philadelphia 76ers were not supposed to even be in the game on Monday night against the Miami Heat let alone come away with a 113-106 win. It was the second night of a back-to-back, the Heat are the No. 1 seed in the East, and the Sixers didn’t have Joel Embiid or James Harden.
The Sixers got a big game out of Tyrese Maxey as he had 28 points and he knocked down three triples, but the big lift in this one came in the form of Shake Milton and Furkan Korkmaz.
Milton had 20 points, six assists, and five rebounds, and Korkmaz, who was playing his first meaningful minutes since March 5, had 18 points and six rebounds in the victory. Philadelphia doesn’t win this game without their contributions.
