Top seeds in the East, Miami Heat took a commanding 2-0 series lead against the Philadelphia 76ers, comfortably winning 119-103 at home on Wednesday night as the series heads to Philly for Game 3 tonight.

The Eastern Conference first seed were faced with little resistance against a Sixers side without Joel Embiid protecting the paint, shooting 51.3% from the floor and 48.3% from beyond the arc and Jimmy Butler was transformative on the offensive end for the Heat, finishing with 22 points on eight-of-15 shooting and 12 assists.

Sixers underwhelm

The Sixers kept turnovers relatively low with eight but did not generate great shots either, coming up with 17 assists for the night and connecting on a poor 26.7% of three-point attempts.

76ers coach Doc Rivers will hope that a packed crowd at the Wells Fargo Centre can inspire his men to clawing back a game with his team second best to the team from Florida in both semi-final games to date.

Embiid highly unlikely to feature

The absence of Philadelphia 76ers All-Star center Joel Embiid during the series against the Miami Heat can’t be overstated. The star player suffered a concussion and broken orbital bone against the Toronto Raptors in Game 6 of the first round of the 2022 NBA Playoffs last week. Sixers coach Doc Rivers explained that Embiid was “doing a lot better,” however he went on to claim that he did not want to give any “false hope” ahead of their key third game with the Heat. He looked good, as far as talking,” Rivers said. “But he’s got so many steps to go through, and I don’t think he’s cleared any of them right now. So we just have to wait and see.”

Embiid’s return, even at less than 100% may boost Philly’s hopes but that boost is unlikely to come until at least Game 4.
