Sixers-Heat observations: Another milestone for Ben Simmons, overcoming turnovers and displaying toughness

MIAMI — Here are my main takeaways and “best” and “worst” awards from the 76ers’ 106-102 victory over the Miami Heat in Game 4 of an Eastern Conference quarterfinal series Saturday afternoon at AmericanAirlines Arena.

Five observations

  • The Sixers just might be one of those elite teams that are able to win even on struggling days. They had no business winning Saturday’s game, committing 27 turnovers and shooting 22.6 percent on threes. Yet, they produced down the stretch and escaped with a four-point victory.
  • No one can question the Sixers‘ toughness after this playoffs series, especially after Saturday.
