Season Profile Comparison: Philadelphia 76ers vs Miami Heat
This is a season snapshot, organized into four categories so you can see the main levers quickly. In close matchups, the deciding swing often shows up where one team wins both of the key stats in a section.
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.

| Win Percentage | 53.7 | 63.4 |

| Points Against | 116.1 | 118.5 |
| Points Margin | -0.2 | 2.3 |
Efficiency
Miami Heat owns the edge in shooting efficiency (110.5) and field goal efficiency (54.2), which is a strong indicator of cleaner scoring. If Philadelphia 76ers can’t contest without fouling or giving up clean looks, this category tends to stay home-leaning.
| Metric | Philadelphia 76ers | Miami Heat |
|---|---|---|
| Field Goal % | 0.7 | 0.7 |

| Free Throw % | 0.8 | 0.8 |
Tempo, Ratings & Turnovers

| Net Rating | 0.5 | 2.4 |
| Offensive Rating | 112.5 | 113.9 |

| Turnovers Per Game | 13 | 13.1 |
Rebounding, Ball Movement & Disruption
This section is level on the drivers (0.3 vs 0.3, 9.1 vs 8.6), so ball security and box-outs matter more than raw volume. If the game is tight late, one extra second chance or one extra steal is usually the separator.
| Metric | Philadelphia 76ers | Miami Heat |
|---|---|---|
| Rebounds Per Game | 43.6 | 46.3 |
| Offensive Rebounds | 0.3 | 0.3 |
| Defensive Rebounds | 0.7 | 0.7 |
