Jimmy Butler scored a season-high 38 points against his former team as the MiamiHEAT beat the sixers.
“I’m never worried about offence,” Butler said. “Hell, I’m never worried about defence. I’m only worried about winning.”
For Philadelphia, it was more of the same. The team with an NBA-best 22-2 home record lost for the 10th time in its last 12 road games. Joel Embiid led the 76ers with 29 points and 12 rebounds, and Mike Scott scored 17 points _ most of it off 5-of-7 shooting from 3-point range _ in 18 minutes.“Second half we were pretty much nonexistent all around,” Philadelphia’s Tobias Harris said. “We just never made our mark on the defensive end in the second half.
“We’re not playing defence the way we can play defence,” 76ers coach Brett Brown said. “It starts and almost stops there for me.”Looking for NBA games that you can’t find on cable? Get up to 600+ out of market games with NBA League Pass. Sign up today for a free 7-day trial!
