Joel Embiid<\/a> once again showcased his dominance, reminding everyone why the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> are always considered contenders for a deep postseason run as long as he’s on the court.<\/p>\n

In a pivotal matchup, Embiid delivered a stellar performance, tallying 23 points and 15 rebounds. However, it was his crucial assist to Kelly Oubre Jr. for a go-ahead three-point play that sealed the 76ers’ 105-104 victory over the Miami Heat<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a> in the Eastern Conference play-in tournament on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

With this win, the 76ers secured the No. 7 seed and advanced to face the second-seeded New York Knicks<\/a> in the opening round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Game 1 of this exciting series is scheduled for Saturday at Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Heat, who remarkably reached the NBA Finals from the play-in tournament last year, now await the outcome of the late play-in game between the Chicago Bulls<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a> and the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night.
