Heading into Game 2 of their Eastern Conference semifinals matchup, we explore three things to watch between the Miami Heat and Philadelphia 76ers.

For those that have paid attention to the Philadelphia 76ers, the Game 1 result wasn’t a surprise. Especially considering that the team was playing without Joel Embiid. That said, the Sixers did some good things despite the Game 1 loss to the Miami Heat.

Heading into Game 2, it’ll be interesting to see if the Sixers can do enough in order to steal one of the two games in Miami. There’s optimism that Embiid will be able to return in Games 3 and 4 when the series shifts to Philly. And if the Sixers are able to steal one in Miami, this whole series has a different feel.

If the Sixers want to do that, they’ll have to make a few adjustments. Heading into a pivotal Game 2, we explore three things to watch that could give an early indication of who might strike next in the series.
