(Sports Network) - The struggling Miami Heat will try to put the brakes on a 10-game losing streak, as they host the Philadelphia 76ers tonight at AmericanAirlines Arena.
Philadelphia is 2-0 against the Heat this season and has won four in a row overall in the series. The Sixers have lost nine of their last 16 at Miami.
This is the final meeting of the campaign between the clubs.
