The Philadelphia 76ers are in the middle of a playoff race with the Brooklyn Nets as they are neck and neck for the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference before the playoffs begin on May 22. The Sixers own the tiebreaker and they were off on Sunday sitting a game above the Nets in the standings.
They got some help on Sunday from the Miami Heat as they were able to squeak out a win other then Nets at American Airlines Arena.
With the game tied at 107, the Heat turned to Bam Adebayo and he knocked down a tough baseline shot as time expired to lead Miami to a 109-107 win. Shortly after Adebayo’s heroics, Sixers president Daryl Morey reacted to the shot with some love for Miami.
