Season Profile Comparison: Philadelphia 76ers vs Miami Heat
The season numbers are organized into four categories to keep the story clear without one long table. The best read usually comes from the two “driver” stats in each section, then the rest of the rows show how that edge can hold up.
Record & Scoring
When win percentage and margin agree, it’s typically a reliable read—and here they both lean to Miami Heat (63.4, 2.3). For Philadelphia 76ers, the path is turning the game into runs instead of steady quarters, since steady quarters usually favor the better margin team.
| Metric | Philadelphia 76ers | Miami Heat |
|---|---|---|
| Record (W-L) | 45-37 | 43-39 |
| Win Percentage | 53.7 | 63.4 |
| Points For | 115.9 | 120.9 |
| Points Against | 116.1 | 118.5 |
| Points Margin | -0.2 | 2.3 |
Efficiency
With shooting efficiency (110.5) and field goal efficiency (54.2) both leaning to Miami Heat, the shot-making baseline sits on their side. The swing for Philadelphia 76ers is forcing tougher attempts and turning good possessions into misses.
| Metric | Philadelphia 76ers | Miami Heat |
|---|---|---|
| Field Goal % | 0.7 | 0.7 |
| Three-Point % | 0.2 | 0.2 |
| Shooting Efficiency | 110 | 110.5 |
| Field Goal Efficiency | 53 | 54.2 |
| Free Throw Rate | 0.3 | 0.3 |
| Three-Point Rate | 0.4 | 0.4 |
| Free Throw % | 0.8 | 0.8 |
Tempo, Ratings & Turnovers
Miami Heat owns the net rating edge (2.4), while Philadelphia 76ers has the ball-security edge (13), so this category becomes a trade. In a one-game sample, turnovers can matter more than ratings if they turn into easy points going the other way.
| Metric | Philadelphia 76ers | Miami Heat |
|---|---|---|
| Pace | 102.3 | 106.1 |
| Net Rating | 0.5 | 2.4 |
| Offensive Rating | 112.5 | 113.9 |
| Defensive Rating | 112 | 111.5 |
| Turnovers Per Game | 13 | 13.1 |
Rebounding, Ball Movement & Disruption
Offensive rebounds and steals don’t separate the teams much (0.3 vs 0.3, 9.1 vs 8.6), so the best edge is often effort consistency. If one side wins the 50/50 plays for a single quarter, it can flip the possession count enough to matter.
| Metric | Philadelphia 76ers | Miami Heat |
|---|---|---|
| Rebounds Per Game | 43.6 | 46.3 |
| Offensive Rebounds | 0.3 | 0.3 |
| Defensive Rebounds | 0.7 | 0.7 |
| Assists Per Game | 24.6 | 29 |
| Assist Rate | 58.9 | 66.3 |
| Steals Per Game | 9.1 | 8.6 |
| Blocks Per Game | 5.7 | 4.3 |

- Game script (pace): Miami Heat is set up to press tempo, but Philadelphia 76ers benefits if it can steady possessions and keep the game in the half-court. The initial pace hint tends to follows the total.
- Efficiency edge (side): On the season profile, it tilts to Miami Heat when the possession battle stays tidier and the glass does not leak. Those added possessions can turn the number.
