Chance to wrap this up!
The playoff battle between the 76ers and the Heat travels back to Philly tonight. After 5 basketball matches the score is 3-2 in favor of the Miami Heat. The Philadelphia 76ers missed the chance to make a break in Florida a few days ago. So tonight they must win in order to have another opportunity to travel to Miami and hopefully win the series on the away court.
The first two duels in FTX Arena both ended up with victory for the Heat. The unfortunate moment for the 76ers was the injury of their best player, Joel Embiid. In his absence, Tobias Harris stepped up in the first game by scoring 27 points. But that simply wasn’t enough and the Miami Heat won the game with a final score of 106:92. In the second match, Plipadelphia’s Tyrese Maxey was the most efficient player on the court with 34 points. But this also wasn’t enough and the Heat won the game by 119:103.
When the series moved to Pennsylvania, Embiid was back on the floor. The difference was significant and the results proved this observation. Namely, the 76ers won both duels and tied the series. Jimmy Butler played great in the third game (33 points), but Philadelphia’s squad was too good and won this match by 99:79. In the fourth game of the series, Butler scored even more points than the previous one (40 points), however, the 76ers showed their full capacity and won the game with a final score of 116:108.
After the series got tied up in Philadelphia, the Miami Heat won the last duel that took place in Florida. This game was completely dominated by the hosting crew and ended up with a final score of 120:85 for the Heat.
Tonight the playoff saga goes back to Wells Fargo Center. We are expecting another attractive basketball performance, in which the favorite for the win will be the visiting team because of the psychological advantage.
