Joel Embiid returns, six players win, reduce the gap to 2-1 | NBA

Jimmy Butler’s 33 points weren’t enough. Therese Maxi scored 21 goals and was 14 in the last period and led the host team’s rush to victory. Danny Green hit 7 of 9 attempts from the ocean for another 21. The Sixers retained 16 of 33 overall (48.5%), compared to just 7 of 30 (23.3%) for heat. Embiid contributed 18 points and 11 rebounds in 36 minutes. James Harden is 17 years old.

Embiid missed the first two matches due to a fracture of an orbital bone in his right eye. This time, he can act with a face covering. An ultimatum to the court was expected, but not confirmed, even because of the contested duel. Philadelphia was only 3 points away at the start of the last quarter, but it didn’t give the visitors chances at the crucial moments.

Tyler Hero was named the sixth best man of the season, scoring just 14 points. Aside from him and Butler, no other Miami player has scored in double digits. Points guard Kyle Lowery returned to the field after four games with a thigh injury. In 25 minutes, he did not score a single point in 4 field shots, with 4 rebounds, 3 assists and a steal.

Miami’s 79 points were the second worst of the entire season — only better than the 78 against the Boston Celtics on November 4. The team will attempt to answer in Game 4, also in Philadelphia. The duel will take place next Sunday at 21:00, With Sportv 2 . transmission.
