Miami Heat vs 76ers Match Player Stats

The miami heat vs 76ers match player stats from the February 2026 meeting show why Philadelphia escaped with a 124-117 victory despite Miami producing several strong individual performances. Bam Adebayo led the Heat with 29 points and 14 rebounds, while Tyler Herro added 25 points. For Philadelphia, Tyrese Maxey delivered 28 points, 11 assists, and five steals, while Joel Embiid recorded 26 points and 11 rebounds.

The game was played at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. The official NBA record lists the game as February 26, 2026 in Philadelphia, while some listings display February 27 because of the time-zone presentation. The attendance was 19,746. Philadelphia entered with a 33-26 record, while Miami entered at 31-29.

The final score tells only part of the story. Miami shot 46% from the field and made 17 three-pointers. Philadelphia shot 48% and also made 17 threes. The biggest statistical differences came from rebounding, assists, steals, free-throw accuracy, and Philadelphia’s ability to build a large first-half advantage.

Miami Heat vs 76ers Match Player Stats: Game Overview

Philadelphia won 124-117, but Miami did not play a poor offensive game.

The Heat scored 35 points in the opening quarter and added 34 in the third. Their 117 total points would normally give them a strong chance to win a high-scoring game.

Philadelphia, however, created separation during the second quarter.

The 76ers scored 37 points in the second period while limiting Miami to 22. That produced a 73-57 halftime advantage for Philadelphia. Miami responded with a 34-point third quarter and managed to bring the game back into contention.

According to the NBA’s official game report, Philadelphia’s largest lead was 16 points. The game also featured six ties and four lead changes.

Final Score

Team	Q1	Q2	Q3	Q4	Final
Miami Heat	35	22	34	26	117
Philadelphia 76ers	36	37	26	25	124

The quarter-by-quarter numbers reveal an important pattern.

Philadelphia won the first half by 16 points. Miami won the third quarter by eight points. Philadelphia then held a small fourth-quarter advantage of one point.

That means the game was largely decided by Philadelphia’s second-quarter performance and Miami’s inability to erase the entire halftime deficit.

Key Player Performances

The individual numbers show a balanced scoring contest.

Miami had two major offensive contributors. Adebayo scored 29, while Herro scored 25. Jaime Jaquez Jr. added 19, and Andrew Wiggins contributed 18.

Philadelphia had a similarly strong top group. Maxey scored 28, Embiid scored 26, Kelly Oubre Jr. scored 21, VJ Edgecombe scored 19, and Andrew Wiggins’ Philadelphia counterpart helped keep the scoring spread broad.

Bam Adebayo Leads Miami

Bam Adebayo produced the strongest overall scoring and rebounding line for Miami.

He finished with:

• 29 points
• 14 rebounds
• 3 assists
• 1 steal
• 1 turnover
• 10-for-20 shooting
• 4-for-8 from three-point range
• 5-for-8 from the free-throw line

His 14 rebounds were the highest total by any player in the game.

Adebayo also made four three-pointers, which is particularly important when examining the Heat’s offensive spacing. Philadelphia could not simply treat him as a traditional interior scorer because he was also productive from outside.

His 10 made field goals were tied for the highest total in the game.

Adebayo’s performance therefore combined volume scoring, rebounding, and perimeter efficiency. His 29 points were nine more than Miami’s next-highest scorer.

Tyler Herro Provides Secondary Scoring

Tyler Herro finished with 25 points, four rebounds, seven assists, and one steal.

He shot 9-for-18 from the field and 4-for-10 from three-point range. He also converted three of four free throws.

Herro’s seven assists were important because his contribution was not limited to scoring. Miami needed secondary playmaking when Philadelphia’s defense focused attention on Adebayo and other primary scoring options.

His four made three-pointers also helped Miami keep pace in a game where both teams finished with 17 made threes.

The official NBA recap noted that Miami took its first lead on a Herro three-pointer with 2:44 remaining. Miami then failed to score again, allowing Philadelphia to close the game. 

That late sequence is one of the clearest examples of why a box score should be read alongside the game flow.

Jaime Jaquez Jr. Adds 19 Points

Jaime Jaquez Jr. scored 19 points while shooting 7-for-14.

He also recorded four rebounds, two assists, two steals, and two turnovers.

His 50% field-goal shooting gave Miami another efficient scorer alongside Adebayo and Herro.

The Heat therefore had three players with at least 19 points:

• Bam Adebayo: 29
• Tyler Herro: 25
• Jaime Jaquez Jr.: 19

Andrew Wiggins added 18, giving Miami four players at 18 points or more.

That scoring distribution explains why Miami remained competitive even after the difficult second quarter.

Tyrese Maxey Controls the Philadelphia Offense

Tyrese Maxey was Philadelphia’s leading scorer and primary playmaker.

His final line was:

• 28 points
• 4 rebounds
• 11 assists
• 5 steals
• 1 turnover
• 9-for-26 field goals
• 5-for-12 three-pointers
• 5-for-5 free throws

The combination of 28 points and 11 assists made Maxey’s offensive workload especially significant.

His five steals also represented the highest individual steals total in the game.

The shooting percentage was not exceptional at 9-for-26, but the overall impact of his play went beyond field-goal efficiency. His passing created opportunities for teammates, while his perimeter shooting forced Miami to defend him beyond the arc.

The NBA reported that Maxey made five three-pointers and broke Allen Iverson’s Philadelphia franchise record for three-pointers during the game. He entered the night three threes behind Iverson and finished with five made shots from outside. 

He also scored 20 points in the first quarter.

That first-quarter explosion helped Philadelphia establish its offensive rhythm before the decisive second quarter.

Joel Embiid Adds a Double-Double

Joel Embiid finished with 26 points and 11 rebounds.

His complete line included:

• 26 points
• 11 rebounds
• 4 assists
• 2 turnovers
• 1 steal
• 8-for-20 field goals
• 2-for-6 three-pointers
• 8-for-9 free throws

Embiid’s 11 rebounds were important because Philadelphia finished with a four-rebound advantage over Miami.

He also provided efficient free-throw shooting. His eight makes from the line helped compensate for his 8-for-20 field-goal performance.

Embiid’s ability to contribute both inside and outside also complemented Maxey’s perimeter-heavy role.

When Maxey created pressure from the guard position, Embiid provided another scoring option. That combination helped Philadelphia generate enough offense to survive Miami’s third-quarter comeback.

Kelly Oubre Jr. Makes an Important Contribution

Kelly Oubre Jr. scored 21 points, grabbed eight rebounds, and added three assists.

He shot 8-for-13 from the field, 3-for-5 from three-point range, and 2-for-2 from the free-throw line.

His 21 points came on efficient shooting.

Oubre also played a role in the closing sequence. According to the NBA recap, Maxey found Oubre for a three-pointer that put Philadelphia ahead 121-117 after Miami had taken a late lead. 

That basket was particularly important because it stopped Miami’s late push.

Philadelphia’s Supporting Cast

Philadelphia received meaningful production beyond Maxey and Embiid.

VJ Edgecombe scored 19 points and grabbed eight rebounds. He also contributed four assists, two steals, and one block.

Andrew Wiggins scored 18 points with two rebounds and two assists. He shot 5-for-10 from the field and made all six of his free throws.

Cameron Payne added six points, three rebounds, one assist, and one steal.

Quentin Grimes scored nine points and made three three-pointers, although he also committed four turnovers.

Pelle Larsson led Miami in assists with six, while Miami also received nine points from Dominick Barlow.

These supporting performances matter because Philadelphia did not depend entirely on a single scorer.

Miami’s scoring was concentrated among its top four contributors.

Adebayo, Herro, Jaquez Jr., and Wiggins combined for 91 points.

That means those four players accounted for most of Miami’s offensive production. The rest of the roster contributed useful pieces, but the Heat needed their primary scorers to carry a substantial workload.

Full Philadelphia 76ers Player Statistics

Player	PTS	REB	AST	STL	BLK	FG
Tyrese Maxey	28	4	11	5	0	9-26
Joel Embiid	26	11	4	1	0	8-20
Kelly Oubre Jr.	21	8	3	1	0	8-13

Dominick Barlow	9	2	0	1	0	4-4
Trendon Watford	2	6	3	0	0	1-2
Jabari Walker	0	0	0	0	0	0-0

Philadelphia’s top five scorers combined for 112 points.

That is a major reason the 76ers were able to withstand Miami’s late push.

The scoring was not dependent on Maxey alone. Embiid, Oubre, Edgecombe, and Wiggins all reached at least 18 points.

Team Shooting Comparison

The shooting numbers were relatively close.

Category	Miami Heat	Philadelphia 76ers
Field Goals	40-87	45-94
FG Percentage	46%	48%
Three-Pointers	17-40	17-43
3PT Percentage	43%	40%
Free Throws	20-26	17-18
FT Percentage	77%	94%

Philadelphia made five more field goals.

Both teams made 17 three-pointers, so the difference was not simply three-point volume.

Miami actually shot a better percentage from three, converting 43% compared with Philadelphia’s 40%.

The major difference was overall field-goal volume.

Philadelphia attempted seven more field goals and made five more.

That advantage helped offset Miami’s superior three-point percentage.

Rebounding Comparison

Philadelphia won the rebounding battle 49-45.

The difference was modest, but it still mattered in a seven-point game.

Rebounding Category	Miami	Philadelphia
Total Rebounds	45	49
Offensive Rebounds	10	11
Defensive Rebounds	35	38

Embiid’s 11 rebounds and Oubre’s eight helped Philadelphia maintain control of the glass.

Adebayo’s 14 rebounds were the individual high, but Philadelphia’s overall rebounding was more evenly distributed.

The 76ers also collected 38 defensive rebounds, three more than Miami.

That limited Miami’s second-chance opportunities and helped Philadelphia finish possessions.

Assists and Ball Movement

Philadelphia finished with 26 assists compared with Miami’s 25.

The difference was only one assist, but Maxey’s 11 assists were a major individual factor.

Miami’s leading passer was Pelle Larsson with six assists. Herro followed with seven.

The distribution shows two different offensive responsibilities.

Maxey operated as both scorer and primary creator for Philadelphia. Miami relied on several players to share creation duties.

Neither team had a major turnover advantage. Both finished with 14 turnovers.

That makes the assist and shooting differences more important when explaining the final result.

Turnovers Were Almost Even

Both teams committed 14 turnovers.

That means turnovers alone do not explain Philadelphia’s seven-point victory.

The teams were also close in several other categories.

Miami had:

• 45 rebounds
• 25 assists
• 14 turnovers
• 8 steals
• 2 blocks

Philadelphia had:

• 49 rebounds
• 26 assists
• 14 turnovers
• 11 steals
• 3 blocks

Philadelphia therefore had small advantages in several statistical areas rather than one overwhelming advantage.

The Importance of Free-Throw Shooting

One of the clearest efficiency differences was at the free-throw line.

Miami shot 20-for-26, which equals 77%.

Philadelphia shot 17-for-18, which equals 94%.

Miami actually made three more free throws.

However, Philadelphia’s accuracy was substantially higher.

Embiid was 8-for-9 from the line. Wiggins was 6-for-6. Oubre was 2-for-2, and Maxey was 5-for-5.

That level of accuracy reduced Philadelphia’s wasted opportunities.

Miami’s 20 made free throws were helpful, but the Heat left six attempts unconverted.

In a seven-point game, those missed opportunities are worth examining.

Why Philadelphia Built the Halftime Lead

The second quarter was the central statistical turning point.

Philadelphia scored 37 points.

Miami scored only 22.

That 15-point quarter difference produced most of Philadelphia’s halftime advantage.

The Sixers entered halftime ahead 73-57.

Miami then responded with a 34-point third quarter.

That comeback changed the game from a comfortable Philadelphia advantage into a competitive fourth quarter.

The lesson from the score progression is straightforward: Miami did not lose because it could not score.

The Heat lost because Philadelphia created too much separation before Miami’s comeback began.

Miami’s Third-Quarter Response

The Heat’s third-quarter response was one of the strongest parts of their performance.

Miami scored 34 points while Philadelphia scored 26.

That reduced the deficit by eight points.

Adebayo, Herro, Jaquez Jr., and the supporting players continued producing offense.

Miami’s three-point shooting also remained effective throughout the game.

The Heat ultimately finished with 17 made threes, matching Philadelphia.

That made the comeback possible.

However, Miami could not fully erase the first-half deficit.

The Final Minutes

The fourth quarter was close.

Miami scored 26 points.

Philadelphia scored 25.

The problem for Miami was that it entered the final period still trailing after Philadelphia had built its advantage earlier.

Miami eventually took a late lead on Herro’s three-pointer.

That moment suggested the Heat had completed the comeback.

Philadelphia responded immediately.

Maxey hit two free throws, then assisted Oubre on a three-pointer that restored Philadelphia’s lead to 121-117. Embiid followed with a three-pointer with 29.2 seconds remaining.

Those possessions effectively ended Miami’s comeback.

The game therefore provides an important statistical lesson.

A team can dominate one quarter and still lose if an earlier scoring gap is too large.

Advanced Reading of the Box Score

Traditional statistics provide the basic story, but several relationships make the game easier to understand.

Philadelphia Had More Shot Attempts

Philadelphia attempted 94 field goals.

Miami attempted 87.

That seven-attempt difference produced a five-field-goal advantage.

Both teams made 17 threes, so Philadelphia’s extra field goals came largely from its greater overall shot volume.

Miami Was Slightly More Efficient From Three

Miami shot 43% from three.

Philadelphia shot 40%.

That is a three-percentage-point advantage for Miami.

Yet the Heat did not gain an overall scoring advantage because Philadelphia made more total field goals and received strong production from its leading players.

Philadelphia Had More Defensive Activity

Philadelphia recorded 11 steals.

Miami recorded eight.

The three-steal difference is not enormous, but it reflects Philadelphia’s ability to generate extra defensive possessions.

Maxey alone accounted for five steals.

That was nearly half of Philadelphia’s total.

The Teams Were Close in Playmaking

Philadelphia had 26 assists.

Miami had 25.

This was not a game where one team completely dominated ball movement.

Instead, Philadelphia gained its advantage through a combination of scoring depth, rebounding, defensive activity, and its second-quarter surge.

What the Player Stats Say About Miami

Miami’s numbers show a team that had enough scoring to win but struggled to maintain consistency across all four quarters.

Adebayo was excellent.

Herro provided efficient scoring and playmaking.

Jaquez Jr. and Wiggins gave Miami additional offensive support.

The Heat also made 17 three-pointers.

Those are strong offensive indicators.

The weakness was the second quarter.

Scoring only 22 points during the period allowed Philadelphia to create a deficit that required a major second-half comeback.

Miami eventually got close, but the final possessions went Philadelphia’s way.

What the Player Stats Say About Philadelphia

Philadelphia’s biggest strength was balance.

Maxey produced 28 points and 11 assists.

Embiid produced 26 points and 11 rebounds.

Oubre added 21 points on 8-for-13 shooting.

Edgecombe scored 19.

Wiggins added 18.

That gave Philadelphia five players with at least 18 points.

This balanced scoring made it difficult for Miami to focus entirely on Maxey.

Philadelphia also finished with more rebounds, more steals, more assists, and a better free-throw percentage.

None of those differences was enormous individually.

Together, they created a seven-point winning margin.

A Closer Look at Maxey’s Efficiency

Maxey’s 9-for-26 shooting deserves context.

His field-goal percentage was below 35%.

At first glance, that may appear inefficient.

However, judging his game solely by field-goal percentage would miss his broader contribution.

• He made five three-pointers.
• He converted all five free throws.
• He delivered 11 assists.
• He committed only one turnover.
• He recorded five steals.

This combination means Maxey contributed in multiple areas even when his overall field-goal conversion was not especially high.

His five made threes were also historically significant for the franchise.

The NBA reported that those five threes moved Maxey past Allen Iverson’s previous 76ers record. 

A Closer Look at Adebayo’s Efficiency

Adebayo shot 10-for-20 from the field.

That gave him a 50% field-goal rate.

He also made four of eight three-point attempts.

His 29 points came with 14 rebounds and only one turnover.

That is a strong combination of scoring efficiency, rebounding, and ball security.

His performance was arguably the most complete individual statistical showing for Miami.

The problem was that one excellent individual game could not fully offset Philadelphia’s collective production.

Why the Bench Numbers Matter

Player statistics are often reduced to the top scorers.

That can hide important contributions.

Miami received 25 points from Herro, who was the team’s leading bench scorer in the supplied data. Philadelphia received useful contributions from players such as Edgecombe, Wiggins, Grimes, Payne, and Bona.

The depth of Philadelphia’s scoring helped protect the team when Miami’s stars increased their production.

This is especially important in a game where the Heat made a strong second-half push.

Head-to-Head Context

The February meeting was the second matchup between the teams during the 2025-26 regular season.

The first meeting ended with Miami winning 127-117 on November 23.

The February game therefore brought the season series level at one victory apiece.

The third and final regular-season meeting later ended with Miami winning 119-109 in March, giving Miami a 2-1 season-series advantage.

The official Philadelphia 76ers matchup history confirms those three results.

For the February game itself, however, Philadelphia controlled the result.

That distinction matters because season-series context should not be confused with the outcome of an individual matchup.

What Readers Should Look For in Similar Player Stats

When analyzing an NBA box score, it is tempting to focus only on the highest scorer.

A more useful approach is to compare several categories together.

Start with the final score.

Then check the quarter scores.

After that, compare field-goal attempts, three-point attempts, rebounds, assists, turnovers, and free throws.

Finally, look at the individual lines.

This approach helps explain why a team won rather than simply identifying who scored the most points.

The February matchup between Miami and Philadelphia is a strong example.

Miami had the leading individual scorer in Adebayo.

Miami also had the better three-point percentage.

Yet Philadelphia won because it created a large second-quarter advantage and maintained small statistical edges across several categories.

Conclusion

The miami heat vs 76ers match player stats show a game that was decided by more than the final scoring totals.

Bam Adebayo delivered 29 points and 14 rebounds for Miami. Tyler Herro added 25 points and seven assists. Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Andrew Wiggins also reached double figures with strong scoring contributions.

Philadelphia countered with a balanced attack.

Tyrese Maxey recorded 28 points, 11 assists, and five steals. Joel Embiid posted 26 points and 11 rebounds. Kelly Oubre Jr. added 21 points, while VJ Edgecombe and Andrew Wiggins each scored 19 or more.

The team comparison also explains the result.

Philadelphia shot 48% from the field compared with Miami’s 46%. The 76ers grabbed four more rebounds, recorded three more steals, and finished with one more assist. Both teams made 17 three-pointers, while Philadelphia was much more accurate at the free-throw line.

The decisive moment was the second quarter.

Philadelphia scored 37 points while Miami managed 22. That 15-point difference created a halftime cushion that Miami could not completely overcome.

Miami responded strongly after halftime and eventually made the contest extremely competitive. The Heat even took a late lead before Philadelphia answered with key possessions from Maxey, Oubre, and Embiid.

For anyone studying this game through its player statistics, the clearest lesson is that individual scoring does not always determine the winner. Adebayo produced the game’s highest scoring total, but Philadelphia’s balanced production and stronger first-half execution were enough to secure the 124-117 victory.
