The Miami Heat faced the Philadelphia 76ers for the second time in a row, in a match that bore no resemblance to what the two teams had toasted last Tuesday. On this occasion, the Sixers had all the equipment at their disposal and they ratified that they are one of the best franchises in the Eastern Conference.
The Heat fails to find the course that has given him so much satisfaction in the recent past. It is true that Jimmy Butler remains without playing and Goran Dragic was also absent again, But it is noteworthy that the last NBA finalist is already on a negative record with his current 4-6 and out of the playoffs.
The Sixers played a more than interesting game from the first quarter (38-30), the advantage managed to be maintained and doubled until the end of the match. a big 31-point Shake Milton and a Tobias Harrias (18) which of little resemblance to that of the Los Angeles Clippers were enough for the 125-108 victory over Miami.
Ben Simmons proved why he stayed
The guard lived a strange week. For the first time since being an NBA player, Ben Simmons was linked to a possible transfer. For whom? No more and no less than James Harden, whom Daryl Morey knows more than anyone for his years at the Houston Rockets. However, the Australian brought to light his qualities.
Simmons finished the night in Philadelphia with a triple-double, thanks to his 10 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds. For his part, Joel Embiid had a quieter night. Which is one of the candidates for the next MVP, he contributed only 9 units and captured 5 boards.
