When Strus dropped in two free throws with 7:10 left, the Heat went ahead 94-83.

The Sixers closed within 70-68 with 4:24 remaining in the third quarter when Maxey exploded on the fastbreak and completed a nifty reverse layup.

Maxey scored 14 points in the third and the Sixers trailed 84-80 at the end of the quarter. He landed awkwardly on his left ankle while being guarded by Oladipo on a 3-point attempt at the buzzer, but he remained in the game to open the fourth quarter.
