NEW ORLEANS PELICANS VS. MIAMI HEAT | NBA 🔥 HIGHLIGHTS

HEAT'S JIMMY BUTLER, 3 OTHERS, EJECTED AFTER SCUFFLE WITH PELICANS


 NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Miami's Jimmy Butler was among four players ejected after a scuffle early in the fourth quarter in the Heat's game against the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night.

Heat reserve Thomas Bryant and two Pelicans — Jose Alvarado and Naji Marshall, also were ejected after fisticuffs erupted with 11:19 left and Miami leading 84-81.

The scuffle began after Pelicans star forward Zion Williamson stole the ball from Butler, and Kevin Love grabbed Williamson to prevent an uncontested layup.

As Love was whistled for a foul, Williamson fell to the court and Marshall rushed in to object to the way Williamson was fouled.

Butler engaged Marshall and they briefly grabbed each other by the neck as teammates and coaches animatedly swarmed around them.

NBA ROUNDUP: 76ERS DOWN KINGS, MIAMI HEAT ESCAPED DEFEAT


Bam Adebayo hit a go-ahead jumper at the free-throw line with 18.8 seconds left, leading the host Miami Heat to a 99-96 win over the Orlando Magic on Friday night.

Magic star Paolo Banchero missed a short banker with 11.9 seconds left. He grabbed the rebound and missed a layup that would have put Orlando on top.

After two free throws by Miami's Haywood Highsmith, Banchero had a chance to send the game to overtime, but he missed a 3-poiner from the top of the key as the ball bounced off the back of the rim, ending the contest.

Banchero led all scorers with 25 points, including 10 in the fourth quarter. He also had eight rebounds and six assists. Orlando's Moritz Wagner scored 19 points off the bench. Miami's Duncan Robinson scored a team-high 23 points. Adebayo added 21 points and 11 rebounds.


76ers 112, Kings 93

Tobias Harris scored a season-high 37 points to lift host Philadelphia past Sacramento.

Harris, who sank 14 of 25 shots from the floor, finished two points shy of tying his career high. Tyrese Maxey added 21 points as the Sixers snapped a three-game losing streak.

Philadelphia improved to 3-7 without reigning MVP Joel Embiid, who remains out with a swollen left knee. De'Aaron Fox led the Kings with 21 points, and Domantas Sabonis added 14 points, 12 rebounds and five assists. Sacramento had won its previous two games and four of the past five.
