1-1. Decent statistical outing from Simmons, but had it tough in the first half. They got within 2-4 late in the game before Miami took off again.
Embiid warmed up a bit but hasn't resumed contact drills.
Simmons now averaging something like 20.5/8.5/11 over his first two play-off games.

Wade was massive and really showed his experience and Miami looked to play physical with Simmons which worked early on.
In the last few seasons Wade has shown he's capable of having 1 or 2 games like this in a series but hasn't managed to do it more often. I think Philly are still looking good for this series unless Wade can carry the Heat which I doubt.

Philly has this.
Reddick, Covington and Ilyasova were off their shot big time. an average game for them at worse is 10-14 points.
10 point win for Heat with Wade having a monster game and 80% of Philly having a pretty unlucky one should scare Heat fans, big time.
Throw in the imminent return of Embiid (maybe by game 4) and it's game over for Olynk under the ring.
Embiid is back and it's not helping Philly so far
