For now, for the first time in a long time, the Miami Heat are feeling like winners, with Saturday night’s 118-95 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers at Wells Fargo Center extending the winning streak to four, matching the longest of the season for Erik Spoelstra’s team. Granted, this latest decision against the carcass of what remains of the 76ers hardly was a statement win. But for a team that a week ago was mired in a 10-game losing streak, you take it and move on for a Monday night game against the league-worst Washington Wizards. So even with Andrew Wiggins sidelined, the Heat continued this late-season revival, fueled by 30 points from Tyler Herro, a season-high 20 from Alec Burks and a 13-point, 14-rebound double-double from Kel’el Ware.
