Greg Sylvander and Alex Toledo hop on after a rollercoaster game, where the Heat lost to the Sixers in overtime. The Heat, missing Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, Goran Dragic and 4 other players due to contract tracing, were able to compete with the 76ers (who were also missing players), thanks to big shooting performances from Duncan Robinson, Tyler Herro and even Gabe Vincent. We talk about their performances as well as Precious Achiuwa's matchup with Joel Embiid, while looking ahead to the next game against the Sixers.
