Takeaways From Miami Heat vs. Philadelphia 76ers

Without Bam Adebayo, Andrew Wiggins and Nikola Jovic, the Miami Heat beat the Philadelphia 76ers 117-105 Monday, moving to 36-43 for the season.

The Heat remain the 10 seed in the East, half a game behind the ninth seed and 1.5 games behind the eighth seed, with three games remaining.

Here are some of my main takeaways from the game:

With Robinson on the floor last night, the Heat scored 138 points per 100 possessions. With him off the court, their offensive rating was just 108.

Shutting the door

The Heat held the Sixers to just 22 points in the fourth quarter while they scored 36. The Sixers finished the final quarter with a 100 offensive rating to the Heat's 154. In the halfcourt, the Heat converted on 59 percent of their shots to the Sixers' 42 percent, (Sixers finished the game shooting 39 percent in the halfcourt).

"We really had to work the game and thenm you know, it happened," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "You know, we're just working the game, working the game, and going to the fourth tied and had our best defensive quarter. That led us into some great energy going down the other end. It was an offensive explosion as well, a mini explosion, but that was great to see us respond that way in the fourth."
