Five takeaways from the Miami Heat’s 124-114 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers (9-6) on Monday at AmericanAirlines Arena.
1. The turnovers weren’t as big of an issue for the Heat (5-8), until the second half happened. Miami entered averaging the fifth-most turnovers in the league with 16.8 per game. And the problem has been really bad lately, with the Heat committing 43 turnovers over its previous two games — both losses.
Miami wasn’t much better Monday, with 15 turnovers. The second half was especially sloppy, as the Heat committed 12 turnovers over the final two quarters after finishing the first half with just three.
