Daily News | Unable to overcome Joel Embiid’s absence, Sixers fall to Heat, 106-92, in Game 1
And if Monday’s game was any indication, they’re going to have a tough time defeating the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference semifinal series without the MVP finalist.
Tyler Herro paced the Heat with 25 points, sinking 4 of 6 three-pointers. Bam Adebayo had 24 points and 12 rebounds, and Jimmy Butler added 15 points and nine boards. “When we go to zone and switch, we like Paul Reed on the floor more. That’s what we did there, and unfortunately, they crushed us on the glass at that point.”
This marked Jordan’s second start since signing with the Sixers on March 3. The 33-year-old averaged 4.6 points and 5.8 rebounds in 16 appearances with them in the regular season. “I think it’s a collective effort from those three that are going to get the majority of the minutes at the center position,” Harden said. “So tonight, I think we went to [a lineup of] Tobias and Georges as well. It’s going to be different lineups. It’s just the position that we are in, and we have to figure it out.”
