If you watched any of the regular season meetings between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Miami Heat, you were expecting some competitive basketball at Wells Fargo Center on Saturday night. And if you were not rooting for the home team, you probably walked away disappointed.
The Sixers defeated the Heat 130-103 to take a 1-0 series lead in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. Philadelphia used a big second half with a barrage of 3-pointers to pull away for its 17th consecutive victory.
The 76ers shot 18-for-28 from beyond the arc, setting a franchise record for most 3-pointers in a playoff game.
