The Miami Heat and Philadelphia 76ers met each other again two days after the Heat defeated the Sixers 101-99. Wednesday night’s game was in Miami, not Philadelphia. And Joel Embiid sat out due to left foot soreness.
That didn’t matter. The Sixers used a 20-2 run in the second quarter to blow the game open against the Heat, sending Miami back in the loss column after the Heat’s victory Monday ended a four-game losing streak.
Miami held Philadelphia under 100 points Monday, but the Sixers put up 71 points by halftime and cracked 100 early in the fourth quarter Wednesday.
