The Sixers got stomped down in South Beach last night, and during the game reserve center Dwight Howard received his 16th technical foul of the 2020-2021 season, per Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer. The team has been one crucial win away from locking up home-court advantage throughout the Eastern Conference Playoffs for two games now. After an 8 game winning streak, they fizzled in the second half against Indiana on Wednesday, squandering an 11 point halftime lead. And while Joel Embiid missed that game with a non-COVID flu then returned for the game in Miami, the offense did not return with him.
