The sad reality is if the Heat cannot beat the Sixers before they get Jimmy Butler, it doesn’t look good moving forward. And for the third straight home game debuting the Miami Vice Nights jerseys, the Heat lose, this time to Philadelphia 124-114.
The loss drops them to 5-8 on the season and things are sliding in a bad direction as second half blunders are becoming normal again.
The Heat played a pretty even first quarter with the Sixers, but used a 15-0 run near the beginning of the second quarter to create a little bit of separation.
