On May 5, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs Eastern Conference Semifinals continued, and the Heat and the 76ers ended the competition in the second game of the series. In the end, the Heat won another 119-103 victory over the 76ers with a steady play, taking a 2-0 lead in the series.
The third match of the series between the two sides will be played this Saturday morning Beijing time. The 76ers, who have lost two games in a row, have been pushed to the brink. In series G3, the 76ers star Embiid is likely to make a comeback, and he will fight with injuries to participate in the crucial battle of Game 3.
The 0-2 deficit has no way back for the 76ers, and the data shows that their hopes of advancing are very slim. The 76ers have been behind 13 times in seven 4-game playoff games in their history, and all 13 of them have been eliminated without exception, and if calculated according to this data, their promotion is hopeless.
Meanwhile, on the Heat side, the stats supported 100% of their progress to the next round. In the heat's seven four-win games in the playoffs, there have been 16 2-0 leads. All 16 games of the Heat moved into the next round.
Spells are meant to be broken, and against the menacing Heat, all the 76ers need to do is play steadily, at least in Game 3 they can't afford to lose. Once they are 3-0 behind in the series, the 76ers may only have theoretical possibilities if they want to change their lives against the sky.
