On December 26, Beijing time, the Miami Heat welcomed the challenge of the Philadelphia 76ers at home!
The heat of this Christmas game is far less hot than other games, and with Embiid out of the game, the attention of this game is not so high!
When it comes to Embiid not playing, although the official gave a specific injury situation, fans don't buy it, after all, this is not the first time Embiid has bullied the soft and afraid of the hard.
After abusing a weak team with poor strength, Embiid usually chooses to rest when facing a strong team, which is already a well-known thing, so in the absence of this game, fans unanimously believe that Embiid is afraid of Adebayo!
Due to Embiid's absence, the 76ers had to add Reed to the starting lineup!
In the first quarter of the game, the offensive state of both teams was not very ideal, and the Heat team was slightly better.
At the beginning of the game, Adebayo of the Heat team hit a pull-up jump shot successfully, and Oubre on the 76ers' side immediately responded, and a breakthrough dunk instantly ignited the enthusiasm on the court!
Harris then drew another foul and hit both free throws to give the 76ers a brief lead.
At the 6:33 mark, Harris hit a three-point shot to extend the 76ers' lead to 10 points.
After that, the Heat side started **, and in the first minute and 32 seconds of the game, Jacques scored on a fast break, and the two sides were tied at 22.
After that, the Heat scored 4 points in a row, and at the end of the first quarter, the Heat led the 76ers 26-22!
In the second quarter of the game, the Heat were on fire
At the beginning of the game, an 8-0 offensive climax was played, and the score was instantly led to 12 points.
The 76ers were very slow to get into the groove, and it wasn't until 9:26 that Harris hit a 2-point shot.
After that, the two teams entered a brief offensive battle, and when the game reached 4:24, Bamba hit a three-point shot, and the 76ers narrowed the gap to 7 points.
However, their overall state is still not very ideal, and the Heat side has completely lost it.
They went on a 10-0 run for almost three minutes
The score came to 60-43 again, and the Heat took a 17-point lead
After that, Beverley and Oubre hit back-to-back three-pointers, and Herro responded with three-pointers.
At halftime, the Heat continued to lead the 76ers 63-49!
In the second half of the game, both sides played a good game each -
In the third quarter of the game, the Heat scored 23 points and the 76ers scored 37 points
In the fourth quarter of the game, the Heat scored 33 points and the 76ers scored 27 points
In the fourth quarter of the game, the 76ers were behind for most of the game.
But in the 6th minute and 13 seconds of the game, Oubre hit a long-range three-pointer, and the two sides tied at 99.
Then Lowry hit a pullup jumper and Jacques hit a drift shot to give the Heat the lead again.
The two teams were in such a stalemate, although the 76ers closed the point difference many times, but the Heat team was always able to regain the lead again, and finally the Heat narrowly defeated the 76ers 119-113!
Statistically, the 76ers' overall performance today wasn't very good.
Maxey made just 4 of 20 shots from the field and finished with 12 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists.
Harris had a team-best performance, chipped in 27 points, seven rebounds and six assists.
In addition, Oubre also played very impressively today, contributing 25 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists
Melton scored 15 points and Bamba scored 18, but no player scored in double figures
Judging from the positive and negative performance, the main reason for the 76ers' loss is the strength of the bench lineup.
The plus/minus of the starting lineup is all positive, which shows that when the two sides are fighting to start, the 76ers do not lose to their opponents.
But the performance of the bench lineup was very poor, and it was for this reason that the 76ers finally lost!
On the Heat side, the performance of the starting players today is indeed quite good
Halkes chipped in 31 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals.
Bam Adebayo contributed 26 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks.
Herro scored 22 points, Lowry also scored 12 and Robinson off the bench also scored 16 points
Although there weren't many players who scored in double figures, the Heat had Hakes' outburst on their side and Adebayo guarding the interior, so they finally won when they had sharp players on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
It's worth mentioning that Harkes' outburst in this game is really eye-catching, and the surprise of this older rookie seems to be much more than that, and the Heat deserve to continue to wait for him to bloom!
Fans and friends, do you think the Heat can still make it to the Finals this season?Welcome to discuss!
