The Philadelphia Sixers grinded out an overtime win against a depleted Miami Heat team. Joel Embiid was sensational scoring 45 points, and grabbing 16 rebounds with 5 steals defensively. He dominated the second quarter alone scoring 20 points and going 8/8 from the field added to his great overtime period and game-tying shot with 7.1 seconds to go in regulation. Embiid constantly drains all of his free throws which is incredible. Danny Green scored 29 points and hit 9 threes. Ben Simmons was putrid, fouling out and only having 2 field goal attempts. He finished with too many turnovers as well.
