PHILADELPHIA, March 15 (UPI) -- Philadelphia held Miami to just nine fourth-period points Sunday on the way to an 85-77 victory over the Heat.

Seldom-used Donyell Marshall scored all 10 of his points in the final quarter and the losers finally were done in by their poor overall shooting (41.2 percent from the floor and 16-of-23 free throws).

Andre Iguodala led Philadelphia with 21 points, six rebounds and five assists. Thaddeus Young scored 17 with six rebounds, and Andre Miller added 10 points and 11 assists in the 76ers' third win in a row.

Jermaine O'Neal led Miami with 20 points, six rebounds and four assists.

A weary Dwyane Wade, who scored 50 points in a three-overtime victory against Utah Saturday, scored 18 points with four rebounds and three assists.

Udonis Haslem scored 10 with 11 rebounds for the Heat, whose three-game winning streak ended.
