Basketball players Miami Heat to final in east of NBA

The Miami Heat basketball players have qualified for the NBA Eastern Playoff Finals. The Florida squad decided the best-of-seven series against the Philadelphia 76ers by winning its sixth game 99-90. As a result, the Miami Heat came to 4-2, with which the three-time NBA champion (2006, 2012 and 2013) qualified for the final.

Jimmy Butler was the Heat’s leading scorer in Philadelphia with 32 points. Joel Embiid scored 20 points and 12 rebounds for the Sixers. The Cameroonian missed the first two games in the series due to a concussion and a broken eye socket, both of which were won by the Miami Heat. Embiid returned to Philadelphia in game three wearing a protective mask over his face. Led by the number 2 in the MVP election, the ‘Sixers’ came back to 2-2, but the Miami Heat then pulled the series to itself.

The team of coach Erik Spoelstra will face Milwaukee Bucks or Boston Celtics in the final. The Bucks, reigning champions of the NBA, lead 3-2 in the series. “We’re not afraid of anyone,” Butler said.

In the west, the Dallas Mavericks again tied the Phoenix Suns by winning the sixth game 113-86. The deciding seventh game is in Phoenix on Sunday. So far, all matches in this series have been won by the home club.

The Suns, the best performing team in the regular competition, led 2-0 and 3-2. However, the Mavericks always managed to fight back in the series. Slovenian Luka Doncic led his team on Thursday evening with 33 points and 11 rebounds to a royal victory and a chance to reach the final in ‘Game 7’.
