The Heat look set for a trip to the Eastern conference finals after taking a commanding 2-0 series lead, following a 119-103 statement win in Game 2. With Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo scoring a combined 45 points, it was the extra gear off the bench in the form of Tyler Herro and Victor Oladipo that pushed Miami past Philly. Heading out on the road will provide a different challenge but Miami looks more than ready for the task on both ends of the floor.
Down 0-2 in the series, there aren’t many highlights to take away for the 76ers, who continue to play in the absence of MVP candidate Joel Embiid. Tyrese Maxey’s contributions have been promising, scoring 34 points on 12-of-22 shooting in Game 2. Back home for Games 3 and 4, all eyes will be on James Harden to provide the jolt on offense that Philadelphia expected when it traded for him at the deadline.
