![]() Miami also needs to figure out a way to limit the 76ers three-point shots or at least try and force them into taking bad shot attempts. Herro has been in a shooting slump over the past few games so maybe going back home will help him break out of it. Guys like Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro need to step up and pick up some of the scoring production if they want to take a three games to two series lead. Jimmy Butler can only carry this team so far as he needs some help. How Miami can win: The Heat struggled to score in both games away from Miami and will need to pick it up here tonight. Limiting the Heats transition scoring should be a huge part of the gameplan for Doc Rivers and the 76ers. Philadelphia played effective defense on Miami in the two games at home and need to bring that same level of attention with them on the road. Getting Embiid back really seemed to reenergize this team and having him for game five is huge. Danny Green has also seemed to find his shooting stroke so if that continues as well, then Philadelphia should be just fine. The beard looked like his old self in the 76ers win and if he can continue playing at that level, the 76ers will be extremely tough to beat. How Philadelphia can win: Is James Harden back? Honestly, who knows the answer to that but if game four was any indication, then maybe. This has all the makings of a classic playoff game so will Embiid and the 76ers steal home court from Miami? Or will the Miami turn up the heat and defend home court? For the 76ers, getting this game would be huge as then they could go home, looking to close out the Heat. ![]() They don’t have to win on the road to advance and need to hold serve at home. For the Heat, they want to defend home court and head to Philadelphia up in the series. ![]() Entering game five back in South Florida, the 76ers and Heat both know just how important of a game this is. Without him, they looked lost against Miami and now with him, they have won two straight games. All the momentum is with Philadelphia right now because of the return of Embiid and what he brings to his team. Joel Embiid returned in game three and the 76ers rode his return and a possible James Harden resurgence to two wins and now a tied series. This Eastern Conference semi-finals series looked over as the two teams headed back to Philadelphia.
