MIAMI -- Bam Adebayo caught a lob for an alley-oop dunk midway through the fourth quarter, then threw a lob to Jimmy Butler for another dunk about a minute later.Joel Embiid could complicate those plays going forward - and the Miami Heat are heading north expecting that he might be waiting for them.
Tyrese Maxey scored 34 points for Philadelphia, which got 21 from Tobias Harris and 20 from James Harden.A 10-0 run in the fourth turned an eight-point Miami lead into an 18-point edge, sealing the win and ensuring the Heat would hold home court before the series shifts north. Game 3 is Friday in Philadelphia.Miami has taken a 2-0 lead in 18 previous series, including the first round this season against Atlanta, and won the matchup every time.
But he said he's preparing as if Embiid will play Friday. And Butler, who is close with Embiid from their time together as teammates in Philadelphia, is hoping his MVP pick can play in the series.Rivers, however, didn't sound optimistic about the possibility of Embiid being ready. It wasn't just the absence of Embiid, though, that hurt Philadelphia. The 76ers were awful again from 3-point range, shooting 8 for 30 in Game 2. They're now 14 for 64 from deep in the series.
