Reporting from Philadelphia
Joel Embiid expects the Philadelphia 76ers to further improve their performance in the playoff series with the Miami Heat.
The superstar big man says the Sixers haven’t played their best basketball yet, as the series moves to Miami for Game 5 on Tuesday.
“I mean, the way we played is the reason why we were able to tie the series, but I don’t think we have played our best basketball. Tonight we had way too many turnovers, 16, and we missed a bunch of wide open shots.
We had a couple possessions offensively that didn’t go our way and then defensively at times, especially at the end of that third quarter we weren’t together.
So we’ve got a lot of adjustments and room to grow, so we have to learn from it, but we are far from playing our best basketball so that is the encouraging thing,” Joel Embiid told accredited media after Game 4 win (108-116).
The leader of the Sixers had 24 points (7/13 shooting) and 11 rebounds in the contest. James Harden led the way for the winners with 31 points (8/18 shooting, 6/10 from beyond the arc), 7 rebounds and 9 assists.
