A solid outing by Hannah led Miami to a 100-91 win over Philadelphia. "Take away Hannah, and we'd have won this thing," said Philadelphia coach Bob. "It was a very close game most of the way, and he was the one that put Miami over the top. I thought we had the right game plan and executed well. What's sad is that I don't know what we'd do differently next time, except for hoping for a more mortal performance by him."

Miami coach Bob was happy for the win, but concerned about the team's play. "I didn't think this was a very good team win. Our players seemed tempted to sit around and watch Hannah do his stuff. That was enough for the win today, but on another day maybe Hannah will be injured or our opponents can counter him, and we'll need the rest of the players to step up as well."

Miami was led by Hannah (20 points, 8 boards, 2 assists, a block), Keeney (18 points, 7 boards, 1 assists, a steal, a block), Williams (19 points, 5 boards, 0 assists, a steal, 2 blocks). Philadelphia was led by Evans (25 points, 2 assists, a steal), Blunt (19 points, 7 boards, 1 assists, a steal, a block), Jenkins (9 points, 8 boards, 0 assists, 2 blocks).

Miami stand at 6-4 and 5-2 at home after the win. They move up to #1 in the Southeast and improve to #3 overall in the Eastern Conference. Philadelphia drop to 7-4. They hold at #3 in the Atlantic and fall to #6 overall in the Eastern Conference.
