MIAMI, United States -- Tyrese Maxey scored 37 points and Joel Embiid added 29 to ignite the Philadelphia 76ers in a 109-105 victory at Miami on Thursday and boost their NBA playoff chances.
Maxey had missed the past two games for Philadelphia with a hip injury, but in his first game alongside Embiid in more than two months, the duo were dominating.

Elsewhere, Kyrie Irving scored 26 points and Luka Doncic added 25 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists to power the Dallas Mavericks over visiting Atlanta 109-95.
The Knicks, 45-31, closed the game on a 28-14 run to swipe the victory, snapping a three-game losing streak to pull level with fourth-place Orlando and a half-game behind third-place Cleveland in the East.
