LeBron James made his return to the starting lineup Saturday evening, and the Miami Heat captured their 60th win of the season in a 106-87 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers.
Without the help of Chris Bosh (knee) and Dwyane Wade (ankle and knee) who were both inactive, James finished with a game-high 27 points in just 30 minutes of action.
Paced by Jrue Holiday's 18 points and six assists, the Sixers kept it close throughout after losing the first quarter 33-18. However, as has been the case all season, the Heat cranked up the intensity in the fourth quarter to outscore the Sixers 29-11 in the game's final stanza.
Next up for the Heat is a Tuesday night matchup with their likely first-round opponent in the playoffs, the Milwaukee Bucks.
