At 7:10 on April 18, the NBA Eastern Conference play-offs focused on the 76ers vs. the Heat. 7th in the East vs. 8th in the East, and a win will lead you straight to the game. In the first half, the Heat, with their rich playoff experience, opened up the difference in the second quarter of the first half, and Batum played efficiently, and after coming off the bench, he scored three points in a row, providing the 76ers with greater firepower.
In the third quarter, the 76ers counterattacked very well, Embiid did not feel good, and Maxey played remarkably. The 76ers didn't have a clear advantage after that, and Embiid hit a three-pointer to build a two-point advantage. Herro made a three-point shot, forced a three-point shot, and continued to suppress! Batum missed a shot, Embiid got the rebound, the whistle scored the ball, and the free throw could also be hit!
Batum played a key role in the final moment, sending a key three-point block! The game is over, congratulations to the 76ers! The Heat finally chased 104-105, but to no avail.
The 76ers are seeded No. 7 and are in the playoff round. However, the Heat still have great hope, after all, the Hawks and Bulls are not very strong, and no matter who they meet in the second round of the play-offs, they have a certain chance of winning.
The third group of playoffs in the East is officially finalized, the Knicks have recruited the 76ers, and the Celtics still need to wait for another winner in the play-offs, and the Heat still have a good chance. If it's the Heat, people aren't very optimistic about the Green Army, don't underestimate the Heat, the performance of the playoffs and the regular season is completely different. Butler's tenacity must be known to everyone.
Nas looked ahead to the playoffs after the game, admitting that it would be a series full of physical confrontations. Batum commented on the game after the game, Batum's impact on the team is not only projection, he can defend tall and short players. Heat coach Spo was not discouraged and thought after the game that we were going to embark on a more difficult path and that we would have a great game on Saturday.
The remaining 2 groups of playoffs will face the Cavaliers vs. Magic and the Bucks vs. Pacers.
