After Action Report
In Philadelphia, the Heat survived the 76ers 89-86. Heat's scorers couldn't be contained. The Heat are in a full-on tailspin; Heat's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a 76ers locker-room rift aren't helping. 76ers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
