After the Sixers blew out the Heat in Game 1 (without Joel Embiid), it looked like Philly was going to walk into the second round without much trouble. Not so fast, said Dwyane Wade. At the age of 36, Wade came off the bench and dropped 28 points with seven rebounds in a 113–103 Miami victory—inspired in part by Kevin Hart talking trash from his courtside seats.
Wade's performance was so good, his wife Gabrielle Union started publicly sexting him.
Embiid—who sat out with a fractured orbital bone—was all smiles after Game 1, but he needed to vent after the Heat evened the series.
