Joel Embiid dropped 17 points, delivered 2 assists and grabbed 5 boards, but despite his antics Philadelphia 76ers lost heavily in the previous encounter with Miami Heat. None of the Sixers roster managed to reach 20 points, as only three of the team’s roster achieved double-digits in scoring. The 76ers were outrebounded 46-36 and they had only 14 team assists, while the Heat registered 26 on the night. Philly shot a low 36.5% from the floor, 93.3% from the free throw line and a low 28.1% from beyond the arc. They lost 5 of their previous 10 outings, while recording 5 victories in the process and at the moment are on L1 streak. The team was performing on a mediocre level at the Wells Fargo Center with 24-17 balance across the regular NBA season. If the Sixers win tonight and force game 7, it will take place on 05-15-2022.
