Miami Heat: Jimmy Butler’s Outlier In Franchise Playoff Record Books
Heading back home to the friendly confines of the FTX Arena, the Miami Heat now find themselves in a dogfight of a series with the Philadelphia 76ers. Going to Philly, only to allow the 76ers to tie the series up at 2-2 after two games in their building, the Miami Heat now have to go home to defend their home turf.
While the pressure is still, somewhat, on Philadelphia, as the Miami Heat have two of the remaining possible three games in their building, the Heat aren’t off the hook at all here in dropping two straight after going up 2-0 in the series.

The return of Joel Embiid has clearly impacted the series, but that might not be the only return. Though he wasn’t “out”, James Harden looked the most like the Houston version of himself that he has since he actually left Houston on Sunday night.
A steady dose of that isn’t the most ideal situation for the Miami Heat but still, they should be able to win this series.
