Last season's analytics indicate a team with a strong foundation. With an average of nearly 110 points per game and shooting percentages that round up to impeccable accuracy from both the free-throw line and two-point range, Miami has demonstrated its ability to score efficiently. Their true shooting percentage was also perfect, showcasing their effectiveness when it comes to making shots count.


Defensively, Miami has been just as impressive. Averaging almost eight steals and three blocks per game shows they can disrupt opponents' plays and protect their rim effectively. However, maintaining control of the ball is crucial; with an average of over twelve turnovers per game last season, it's an area where they'll want to tighten up against a formidable 76ers squad.

The Heat’s fast-paced style is reflected in their fast break points average – over four per game – which suggests they're not afraid to push the tempo and capitalize on quick transitions.


As we look ahead at this clash in Philadelphia, fans should expect a showcase of speed and precision from Miami. The Wells Fargo Center is renowned for its electrifying atmosphere which could play into how both teams perform under pressure.
