Heat Get Knocked Out Of Playoffs In 5 Games By Philly

PHILADELPHIA (CBSMiami/AP) — Unfortunately for the Miami Heat, their first round playoff series against Philadelphia wasn’t nearly as good as many thought it would be.

Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons shined again in front of rapper Meek Mill, and the dominant duo ushered the nightmares-into-dreams Process of the Philadelphia 76ers into the second round with a 104-91 win over Miami on Tuesday night.

The 76ers, winners of 10 games just two seasons ago, are in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs for the first time since 2012.

They await the winner of Milwaukee-Boston. The Celtics lead the series 3-2.
