Philadelphia (AP) – The Philadelphia 76ers have secured the penultimate playoff spot in the Eastern Conference and will face the New York Knicks around German Isaiah Hartenstein in the first round. In a game that was close until the last second, the 76ers won 105:104 against last year’s finalists, the Miami Heat, on Wednesday evening. Miami has another chance to qualify for the playoffs on Friday.
The guests from Florida had built up a double-digit lead at halftime, but then completely lost control of the game in the final quarter. Joel Embiid made it 96:96 with a very strong pass and then enabled his teammate Kelly Oubre Jr. to make a layup plus a free throw. The 76ers never gave up their lead with 36 seconds left. Embiid finished the game with 23 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists. In the end, Tyler Herro’s 25 points for the Miami Heat were not enough for seventh place in the playoff seeding list.
