On April 18, 2024, Beijing time, the NBA ushered in the Eastern Conference play-offs, and the Miami Heat challenged the Philadelphia 76ers away. The Heat starters in this game were Jovic, Herro, Butler, Martin and Adebayo, and the 76ers starters were Lowry, Maxey, Harris, Oubre and Embiid.
In the first quarter of the game, the rhythm of the two teams was not slow at the beginning, suffering from poor hand, Maxi was even more exaggerated, and the three-point shot was directly three non-sticky, and only Harris scored 2 points in 2 minutes. The 76ers didn't attack Embiid at the beginning, and they have been blocking and covering their teammates, and in the face of the Heat's ferocious defense, they have been playing iron from the outside three-pointer. The Heat's Adebayo didn't dare to attack in the face of Embiid at this point, Butler didn't have a mid-range open position in a row, and Herro also hit three points, and only relied on Jovic's basket to shoot 2 points in 5 minutes. Then the 76ers converted the offense to complete a layup, Embiid started the offense, scored all three times, caused two fouls on Adebayo, and scored once to help the 76ers lead the Heat 9-2.
Then Butler caused Embiid to foul, so that Embiid did not dare to make a move under the basket, Herro broke through and threw to score, Lowry immediately responded with a three-pointer, which was also the first three-point shot of the game, the two teams only scored in 6 minutes, Butler also hit the basket and caused Lowry to foul and score free throws. Lowry made a pass error, and Butler steals and dunks. The Heat sandwiched Embiid, let go of Maxey, and hit three points, Herro shot in the middle of the corner, Embiid held the ball and singled Jovic, Butler came out from behind to steal and dunk again.
In the last two minutes, Highsmith completed a steal on the court, but unfortunately his assist teammate failed to score, Maxey assisted Lowry, who had not yet returned, to make a layup and gave an interference goal, and Highsmith grabbed an offensive rebound and was fouled and scored on a free throw. The Heat's joint defense made the 76ers make consecutive mistakes, Herro broke through and threw to score, Harkes threw the Heat's first three-pointer, the 76ers once led by 8 points, and were tied by the Heat, Oubre also fouled Lefou, sent Lefu free throws to score, and finally relied on Maxey to break through the layup and score, the Heat's last attack, Butler quickly hit the basket, caught the ball and shook Oubre, Oubre's knee collided with Butler's knee when he landed, and he fell to the ground in pain! Butler hit one of two free throws, and the Heat led the 76ers 23-22 at the end of the first quarter.
In the second quarter of the game, Butler looked fine and continued to stay on the court, Lowry defended for three seconds Butler executed a technical foul and scored a free throw, and then singled out Embiid for the second foul and scored 2 points, the 76ers made two consecutive turnovers, Harkes singled Embiid to complete a layup, then Hield and Harris missed three-point shots, and finally relied on Maxey who was back on the court to break through and score a foul free throw, and Embiid also completed a layup. The 76ers also used joint defense, and it was difficult for the Heat to score when they fell into a positional battle, relying on a steal of Harkes to make up for the basket, Lefu used his experience to shoot a three-pointer when the 76ers' defense was not formed, and hit it steadily, and the Heat led the score to 7 points.
After the 76ers took a timeout, they were helpless by the Heat's joint defense, Herro sent an open catch to Adebayo, Butler completed a steal, and assisted Highsmith to complete a layup. The Heat's defense relaxed somewhat, Harris and Reed scored four points on the inside, and Coach Spo couldn't stand it anymore and called a timeout. After a timeout, Knight hit a three-pointer and Reed and Lowry easily broke to the basket to score. The 76ers' Reid has performed well during this time, but after replacing Embiid, the 76ers will not break the joint defense again. Fortunately, Batum was full of experience and shot three points in the bottom corner, Knight immediately returned the shot, Maxey made a layup or not, Herro converted to shoot three points, Batum did not have three points, and Martin was unguarded by the conversion offense, and the three-point shot was also hit, and the Heat led the 76ers 51-39 at halftime.
The Heat made nine steals in the first half and scored a fast-break score to give the Heat a 17-2 lead over the 76ers. In the face of the Heat's joint defense, the 76ers had no way to crack it, Embiid couldn't catch the ball many times, and Maxey and others didn't feel good, so the scene was very passive.
In the second half of the game, the 76ers made a mistake on the first offense, from the perspective of the 76ers' tactics, to give more balls to Embiid, Embiid also began to participate in the blocking, relying on Oubre to break through to complete the layup, Jovic immediately scored three points! Butler hit his second three-point shot of the quarter, and Maxey wanted to return the shot and continue to play iron.
Martin caused Embiid to foul for the third time, Batum made a three-pointer, Martin made a pass error, Hield scored a layup, and the 76ers had a tendency to stop the Heat directly. After the timeout, the Heat missed consecutive shots, Hield and Batum were released in succession, but fortunately, Adebayo scored under the basket and Butler was continuously released to shoot three points. The whistle in the second half was clearly biased in favor of the 76ers, and a lot of physical contact was not blown, especially Butler, who tried to make fouls four times in a row, but the referees ignored them. Maxey and Hield broke through the interior in a row, Hield gave a technical foul because of interfering with free throws, which was credited to the team, the Heat relied on Highsmith to complete a layup under the basket, Batum hit three points (4 of 6 three-pointers), and became the hero who saved the 76ers! Embiid made a mistake, Embiid let go of Lefu in the defensive round and threw three points, Payne made his first three-point shot in the bottom corner, and Harkes immediately returned a shot, and the Heat led the 76ers 74-69 at the end of the third quarter.
In the final quarter of the game, Oubre broke through to score, Embiid was released and scored three points, the Heat Herro broke through, and then there was a mistake, Herro continued to play iron, and finally relied on Lefu to score a basket, after the Heat scored, Oubre had already reached the offensive basket, and the Heat could only be forced to foul Oubre to score free throws, and Batum continued to hit three points (5 of 7 three-pointers) to help the 76ers overtake the score. Then Herro caused Oubre to shoot a foul and scored 2 points, Batum shook off, shook off the defender, pulled out three points and continued to shoot (6 of 9 three-pointers), Adebayo broke through to the layup, Hield assisted Reed to catch a dunk, Highsmith missed a three-point shot, Hield made a pass error, Butler completed a steal and dunk! Maxey broke through and hit a layup, Herro scored three points, and the Heat chased the score to 1 point.
Then the 76ers lost power on three points, Batum, Hield and Harris missed three-point shots, Harks dunked, Herro broke through and scored on a throw, and the Heat once again overtook the score. Maxey then missed a layup, and it was Batum who scored on the rebound. Embiid didn't have much presence during this time, and the ball was basically just a hand. The 76ers pressed the defense, making Herro force a three-point shot and missed, Lowry didn't shoot, Herro scored, Embiid finally cheated the foul, scored a free throw, Harkes missed, Embiid converted the offense and scored three points, the 76ers overtook by 2 points, and Herro quickly returned a shot! Heat Butler basically didn't touch the ball during this time, and it can be seen that his physical condition is still not good, and it is difficult to exert his strength. Batum missed a shot, Embiid grabbed an offensive rebound and scored a two-plus-one, and Highsmith threw and scored, and the two sides were tied again. Embiid missed the basket, Herro received the ball and returned to the court for a violation, Embiid assisted Oubre under the basket to score two plus one, and in the last 36 seconds, the 76ers led by 3 points.
Herro three points were blocked by Batum, Highsmith grabbed a rebound and scored 2 points on Maxey's free throws, Highsmith grabbed the basket to complete the layup, and the Heat had to foul tactics, but they still chose 2 points in the offensive round, and it was unwise to fall behind by 3 points, and they only started shooting three-pointers in the last 8.2 seconds, but unfortunately there was not enough time, even if they chased 4 points in a row, they still failed to win, and finally the 76ers beat the Heat 105-104, and the playoffs will face the Knicks, and the Heat will compete with the winner of the Hawks and Bulls for the last playoff spot in the eighth place in the East.
The statistics of the full-court players, 76ers, Embiid shot 6 of 17, 2 of 4 three-pointers and got 23 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists, Maxey shot 6 of 16, 1 of 6 three-pointers got 19 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists, Oubre 11 points and 8 rebounds, Harris 9 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, Lowry 7 points and 5 rebounds, Batum shot 7 of 12, 6 of 10 three-pointers got 20 points and 5 rebounds, Hield 7 points. For the Heat, Herro shot 9-of-27 from the field and 4-of-14 from three-point range with 25 points, 2 rebounds and 9 assists, Butler shot 5-of-18 from the field and 2-of-6 from three-pointers with 19 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals, Bam Adebayo had 10 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks, Martin had 5 points and 5 rebounds, Jovic had 5 points and 5 rebounds, Harkes had 15 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, Love had 10 points and 2 rebounds, and Highsmith had 9 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists.
Butler suffered a hand injury and missed the miracle
The Heat's good situation was wasted like this, and although Butler had a bad hand, he was able to play a leading role, and it was difficult to exert his strength after the hand injury in the third quarter. On the offensive end, he didn't touch the ball for a long time, and on the defensive end, he was beaten into a two-and-one by Oubre under the basket. Therefore, giving the scoring opportunity to Herro and others is obviously not very certain. Butler had 19 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals in the game.
