Chalmers drained a step-back 3-pointer from the right wing to push the lead to 16 with 3:20 left, and the Heat went on to close out the victory.

In a tightly played first half, Philadelphia shot 58 percent but committed 11 turnovers, and Bosh scored 18 points as the Heat knocked down eight 3-pointers for a 60-54 lead at the break.
