One of the biggest stories of the Miami Heat’s second-round victory over the Philadelphia 76ers was the defense that center Bam Adebayo played on Joel Embiid, as well as the team’s overall gameplan schemed up by Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra to shut down Philly as the series took its course.
Spoelstra highlighted after Game 6 that this series intermixed “three or four” mini series jumbled up into one.
“It certainly played that way,” he said. “There were definitely different complextions to each game. Injuries, on both sides, were a factor. But we were able to stay a course and get a tough win.
