NBA Regular Season

PHI VS MIA DREAM11 MATCH PREVIEW:

Take any sport, at any level and against the teams of any profile, winning Seventeen games on the trot is something that is a rare feat even if one team boasts a vast talent pool.

Philadelphia 76ers managed to achieve that when they beat, not actually, dismantled to be precise, Miami Heat 130-103 in the first round NBA Playoffs yesterday. It’s a seven-game series and Heat have plenty of room to sort out things, but the way 76ers are playing, it looks the series may be over by the fourth game.

The first match started in an unusual fashion as 76ers lost the first quarter 29-35 and were still trailing by four points at the end of the first half. But J.J. Redick and Marco Belinelli put on a great show in the 2nd half of the game as Philadelphia scored a massive 74 points in that period against Heat’s tame 43 point effort.

Now Miami are at home and have a point to prove to the visitors as well as to all the teams in the playoffs that 2012, and 2013 NBA Champions are not in the playoffs just to add on the numbers.
