The Philadelphia 76ers were “Zoned Out”

The anticipation was high for the Wednesday night nationally televised game at Wells Fargo Center between the Philadelphia 76ers and Miami Heat. Storylines were plentiful going into it: the Sixers were 14-0 at home, coming off a lifeless 109-89 loss to the Brooklyn Nets, Miami returning to Philly after the 113-86 shellacking they took earlier this year, a game separating each team in the standings at the time, and of course Jimmy Butler playing in Philly is always a story.

By now you know that the 76ers fell 108-104, but the team famously failed to win in this one because of their inability to crack Miami’s zone defense.
