Game 2 wasn’t exactly what some would call a “good basketball game” for the Philadelphia 76ers, and the result was a tough loss at home. It was the perfect storm of bad things, the Sixers went cold from deep, the Miami Heat shot uncharacteristically well, and the officiating was spotty at best. Couple in the fact that the one Dwyane Wade takeover game basically everyone afforded the Sixers to give up this series happened in Game 2, and the Sixers are now looking at a tied series heading on the road.
For the first time since Joel Embiid was sidelined with a broken orbital bone, the Sixers looked lost down low, so getting the big man back sooner rather than later should be of the utmost importance for the team.
