The Heat ripped off a 16-3 4th quarter run to turn a tie game into a blowout and beat the Philadelphia 76’ers 117-105 on Pat Riley Court.

Duncan Robinson poured in 12 of his 21 points in the 4th quarter, Tyler Herro scored 20, Kel’el Ware had 19 points and (a career-high) 17 rebounds for the Heat, and Davion Mitchell added 12 points and 9 assists.

Quentin Grimes and Lonnie Walker IV each scored 29 for Philadelphia, which lost its 12th straight.

Miami (36-43) is now just 1/2 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).

Miami was without Bam Adebayo (back spasms), Kevin Love (personal) and Andrew Wiggins. (hamstring) The Heat have played 30 games since acquiring Wiggins. He’s missed half of them.
