The Eastern Semifinals between Miami and Philadelphia opened tonight (Monday through Tuesday) as the Heat went up 0-1 with a 92: 106 home win over the Sixers that came without the injured Joel Ambide. Tyler Hiro who himself was in doubt for the game after suffering from a respiratory virus, managed to recover on the day of the game, arrived ten hours ahead of him for shooting practice and it seems to have helped that in the game itself the handle worked well on the way to 25 points. Bam Advio added 24 points and 12 rebounds. By the way Hiro, he stood at 4 of 6 off the arc in a game in which all the other players in it provided 11 of 64.
The story of the game and before it was Joel Ambide, who was injured during the series against Toronto and is not supposed to play in game number 2 either. His disadvantage was felt on both sides of the field. Philly was missing his points and his substitutes’ defense was not at the same level and vision, Advio scored 8 of 10 from the field and also continued to 8 of 8 from the line after his stopping attempts were unsuccessful. Jimmy Butler added 15 hit points, which also received 10 from Gabe Vincent and 10 from Jay Tucker.
On the Philadelphia side Tobias Harris scored 27 points, Tyrese Maxi added 19, while James Harden provided just 16 alongside 9 rebounds and 5 assists. Of course the data speaks to Philly’s detriment that the season is in a negative balance when Ambide is not playing (9: 6).
