Miami Heat Secure Fourth Straight Win, Eliminating 76ers from Playoff Contention
Tyler Herro's 30-point performance propels the Heat to a 118-95 victory as Philadelphia shifts focus to rebuilding after a season plagued by injuries.
- The Miami Heat extended their winning streak to four games with a decisive 118-95 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on March 29, 2025.
- Tyler Herro led the Heat with 30 points, including five three-pointers, marking his fourth game in six with 29 or more points.
- The loss officially eliminated the 76ers from playoff contention, capping a disappointing season defined by injuries to key players like Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey.
- The Heat, currently holding the final spot in the Eastern Conference play-in tournament, have rebounded from a 10-game losing streak earlier in the season.
- Philadelphia, now focused on improving their draft lottery odds, risks losing their 2025 first-round pick to the Oklahoma City Thunder if it falls outside the top six.
