The Miami Heat faced the Philadelphia 76ers for the second time in a row, in a match that did not resemble the one offered by both teams last Tuesday. This time, Sixers had all the equipment available and confirmed that they are one of the best franchises in the Eastern Conference.
The heat can’t find the course that has given them so much satisfaction in the recent past. It is true that Jimmy Butler hasn’t played yet. Goran Dragic is missing again, but it is striking that the last NBA finalist is already with a negative record with his current 4-6 and outside the playoffs.
Sixers played a more than interesting game in the first quarter (38-30), whose advantage managed to be maintained and doubled until the end of the game. A big 31-point Shake Milton and a Tobias Harrias (18) that little by little resembled the Los Angeles Clippers were enough for the 125-108 victory over Miami.
Ben Simmons proved why he stayed
The guard had a weird week. For the first time since becoming an NBA player, Ben Simmons was tied up in a possible trade. Of whom? None other than James Harden, whom Daryl Morey knows better than anyone in his Houston Rockets years. However, the Australian has revealed his qualities.
Simmons finished the night in Philadelphia with a triple-double, thanks to 10 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds. Joel Embiid, on the other hand, had a quieter night. The one who is one of the candidates for the next MVP, contributed only 9 units and captured 5 panels.
