Heat lose to the Pacers.

Sixers are now tied with Miami (record-wise) for the 7th seed.

After playing solid defense and building up a 14 pt lead, Sixers go through a bad stretch on both ends of the floor and now trail by 2.

Sixers are just chucking up 3balls and missing while SA scores on the other end.

This is where you miss Lowry's leadership on the floor. Payne is 1 - 7 and not getting others involved in the offense.

76ers are understandably reluctant to challenge Wemby in the paint, but the outside shots aren't falling.

Outside of Maxey,, Oubre and a bit of Reed, no one is doing anything on offense. Bamba, Payne, Batum and the rest are bricking wide open shots.

Can't be giving up 40 in a quarter, especially to a team as bad as the Spurs.

Maxey is almost single-handedly keeping the team within striking distance, but he could use a little help.
