Sixers' Game 5 misfortune to Heat

Miami blew the Sixers out to get a 3-2 series lead Tuesday night, taking a 120-85 game at FTX Arena. Jimmy Butler followed up a 40-point Game 4 with 23 points, nine rebounds, and six assists in Game 5. Joel Embiid scored a group high 17 points on a 7-for-12 shooting. Kyle Lowry missed Game 5 with the left hamstring strain that sidelined him for the series' initial two challenges. Max Strus’s three-pointers helped, stretch out the Heat's lead to twofold figures. Strus nailed another triple late in the first and coordinated Butler with 11 points in the period.

At one moment Sixers almost lost Embiid to injury again Obviously, it was phenomenal that Embiid evidently did not have re-injury. Yet, not at all like in Games 3 and 4, his presence was not almighty for the team.
