The Sixers benched Nerlens Noel and elected Joel Embiid as coach for the night. Miami, on the other hand, rested every potential star and went with the last bunch of five on their 15-man roster.
The only unprecedented substitution for the Heat came when Zoran Dragic (Goran Dragic’s younger brother), got into foul trouble early in the first quarter - one to get him out, and one to get him back in the game. The rest of the bunch played all the 48 minutes. The Sixers still lost the game.
