Kel’el Ware had 19 points and 17 rebounds for the Heat, and Davion Mitchell had 12 points and nine assists.

Quentin Grimes and Lonnie Walker IV each scored 29 for Philadelphia, which lost its 12th straight. Adem Bona scored 16 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for the 76ers.

Miami (36-43) is now a half-game back of Chicago (36-42) in the race for No. 9 in the East; those two teams meet on Wednesday. The Heat are 1 1/2 games behind No. 8 Atlanta (37-41) and 2 1/2 games behind No. 7 Orlando (38-40).

76ers: Reflecting on a season that was wrecked by injuries, 76ers coach Nick Nurse — who started four players Monday that weren’t on Philadelphia’s roster to start the season — noted that other than one 10-3 stretch in November and December, the 2024-25 campaign was “no doubt, a huge disappointment. It started bad, stayed bad and it’s going to end bad.”

Heat: Miami was without Bam Adebayo (back spasms), Kevin Love (personal) and Andrew Wiggins (right hamstring). The Heat have played 30 games since acquiring Wiggins; he’s missed 15 of them. “He’s getting close,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.

Meanwhile, Zach LaVine scored 43 points, including 17 in the fourth quarter, and DeMar DeRozan added 37 as the Sacramento Kings rallied for a 127-117 victory over the Detroit Pistons to strengthen their bid for a first-round home game in the play-in tournament.

Domantas Sabonis had 19 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists for the Kings, who have won three straight and have a one-game lead over Dallas for ninth in the Western Conference.

Cade Cunningham scored 35 points and Tim Hardaway Jr. added 19 for Detroit, which has lost four of its last five games.

The Pistons started out the second quarter with a 29-10 run to take a 66-48 lead. DeRozan scored eight of the Kings next 14 points to close the deficit to 72-62 at halftime.

Sacramento took its first lead of the second half, 97-94, when LaVine made a 3-pointer with less than a second left in the third quarter.

The Kings never relinquished the lead and the closest Detroit could get was 106-105 on Cunningham’s three-point play with 9:16 left in the game.
