Dwyane Wade turned back the clock and the Miami Heat turned the series around Monday in Philadelphia.
Game 2 represented a 37-point swing, but that doesn't mean anything more than the Sixers' winning Game 1 by 27. Wade knocked the ball free and then the floor, slamming the ball home to put the Heat back up two scores. Miami's defense suffocated Philadelphia in the second quarter to the tune of 13 points, resulting in a 14-point halftime lead for the road team. In those 10 minutes, Wade shot 6-for-6, scoring 15 points and helping the Heat turn a nine-point deficit into a seven-point lead. First, he stripped the ball from Dario Saric and raced downcourt for a slam.
Despite having cleared the concussion protocol, the Sixers did not clear Embiid to return to the court.
"We had no semblance of order, offensively especially, that his presence, availability, makes the world go around", Brown said of Embiid, who averaged 22.9 points, 11.0 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in 63 games in the regular season.
Wade finished with 28 points off the bench, shooting 11-of-17 from the field. In fact, Simmons is the first rookie in the National Basketball Association to put up 40-plus points and 20-plus assists in his first two postseason games since MJ all the way back in 1984-85.
Elsewhere, the visiting San Antonio Spurs showed tremendous fight early against the Golden State Warriors, carrying a 53-47 lead into the locker room.
Meanwhile, in Oakland, the reigning National Basketball Association champions, the Golden State Warriors rallied in the second half to beat the San Antonio Spurs 116-101 for a 2-0 lead in their first-round series. So it's rare to see him publicly display his frustration like this.

National Football League draft history: 10 years of Wisconsin's draft picks
This year? The Vols will be lucky if they have a player taken before the third day of the draft. Jenkins was the last wideout picked, and Mikel Leshoure was the last running back (2011).
In Game 2, he was automatic in the mid-range, making 7-of-8 from the area, while hitting all three of his fadeaways.
LaMarcus Aldridge can not do it all by himself for the Spurs, but he tries.
The Heat had to have this one - a brooding Joel Embiid is angling for a comeback.
The Warriors-still missing the injured talisman Stephen Curry-outclassed a physical San Antonio from three-point range in a devastating display of scoring.
Wade followed that up with a key assist, rebound and bucket to secure the win. The Sixers made just 4 of 21 of their shots in that period; Simmons missed four of his five attempts and was minus-19.
It is not often an Andre Iguodala to JaVale McGee pass makes the highlights, but the two Warriors are feeling it in their series against the Spurs.
The Philadelphia 76ers may have opened their postseason without Joel Embiid, but they may not be without their All-Star center for much longer. "If you've watched our games this year with Philly, they were just insane games, so competitive".
