After an easy G1 win, the Heat led 1-0 in the semifinals, and this campaign will continue to sit at home and will compete with the Philadelphia 76ers for series G2.
In terms of the Heat, Hiro won the best sixth man, and this battle Hiro can be happy and happy, the big score 2-0 next city, undoubtedly became a major highlight of this game.
On the other hand, on the side of the 76ers, although Harris is in hot form, the 76ers team that lacks Embiid can withstand the pressure to equalize the big score, and obviously will also be caught in a bitter battle!
However, after four quarters of competition, with the excellent performance of Adebayo + Hiero, the Heat, who played at home, overpowered the 76ers in the first half and occupied the initiative on the court.
Although after returning from the second half, Maxi + Harris felt hot in the third quarter, leading the 76ers to constantly play counter-attacks, clinging to the score all the way, preserving the suspense of the game.
But in the final final minute, Strus + Oladipo hit three consecutive points, and the Heat took the opportunity to establish a 16-point lead in one fell swoop, while the 76ers could not catch up with the points, so they had to lose.
In the end, the Heat also won 119-103 at home to the 76ers, winning G2 strongly, and at the same time, they also scored 2-0 in the semifinals!
Playing at home in this game, the Heat continued the fiery state of G1, playing a 4-man scoring double-double, all-staff team performance, and winning a 16-point victory.
In the case of Adebayo + Strus and other main players, continuing to perform steadily, the core of the team, Butler, and the play of Hiro + Oladipo on the bench are particularly critical!
Butler was well-defended in this game, starting 36 minutes and shooting 8-of-15 from the field for an all-around performance of 22 points, 6 rebounds , 12 assists and 2 steals.
Among them, in the third quarter, he scored 12 points in a single quarter, which not only helped the Heat withstand the pressure of the opponent's points, but also became a difficult existence for the 76ers!
In addition, as the best sixth man of the team, the play of Taylor Thirot in this game also played a crucial role.
Taylor Hiro was very efficient, shooting 60% of the time on 10-of-6 shooting, and contributed 18 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 blocking.
Rationally speaking, while winning the best sixth man of the season, Hiro helped the Heat win G2 in this campaign, which can also be said to be a double happiness!
Of course, the Heat were able to beat the 76ers in this game, taking a 2-0 lead, and the performance of Tigers on the bench was also indispensable.
In this game, Oladipo was full of firepower, came off the bench for 26 minutes, shot 3 three-pointers on 6-of-11 shooting, and scored 19 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist.
And in the final quarter, he ushered in the outbreak of a key play of 10 points, not only helped the Heat to open the score gap, but also almost single-handedly ended the 76ers' attempt to fight back!
On the other hand, on the side of the 76ers, the team was comprehensively crushed at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends of this game, and finally swallowed a 16-point rout, and the semi-final score of 0-2 fell into a passive game performance, which obviously needs to be examined.
After all, in the case of Maxi playing well, bombing a game-high 34 points, Harden + Harris and cutting 20+ at the same time, the performance of Danny Green in this battle is indeed to blame!
In this game, Danny Green was very depressed, starting 21 minutes, 1 of 10 shots felt cold, and the outside three-point shot was 9 and 1 of 9 completely lost the crosshairs.
As a veteran with both experience and strength, I have to say that in the face of the key G2 battle, Danny Green's performance is indeed a bit crotch-pulling!
As for whether the Philadelphia 76ers, who are behind 0-2 in the G3 game back at home, can achieve a strong rebound and defend the home field to save face, we seem to have to wait and see!
