Game 4 is Sunday in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<p>Embiid sat out the first two games with a right orbital fracture and a mild concussion suffered in the last round. Embiid wasn\u2019t the dominant force he was throughout the season. With Green, Maxey and James Harden all crushing Heat rallies with big buckets, Embiid didn\u2019t have to carry the Sixers.<\/p>\n<p>But the 76ers sure were glad he was back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAny plan where you can have Joel as part of the plan is a much better plan,\u201d coach Doc Rivers said before the game.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/1240496035.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Joel Embiid finished with 18 points in his return from injury.\" class=\"wp-image-22177125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/1240496035.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/1240496035.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/1240496035.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/1240496035.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Joel Embiid finished with 18 points in his return from injury. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Even Rivers couldn\u2019t draw up a plan that included the play that helped put away the game: Maxey made a full-court sprint to save a basketball with an over-the-shoulder toss. The 76ers kept the ball and Embiid buried a fallaway bucket and sank the free throw for an 86-74 lead.<\/p>\n<p>Embiid was good. Green was better. Green buried made 6 of 7 3-pointers through three quarters, highlighted by ones that snuffed Miami runs and stretched the Sixers\u2019 lead to 54-50 and 57-51. Green missed 9 of 10 3s in Game 2.<\/p>\n<p>Tyler Herro, though, had two critical 3s of his own in the final minute and pulled the Heat to 68-65 to close the third.

When he jogged out for warmups wearing the mask, Sixers fans erupted and started the \u201cMVP! MVP!\u201d chants that are a staple at the arena. When Sixers public address announcer Matt Cord announced \u201cthere are no injuries\u201d on the pregame report, Sixers fans went wild. Embiid easily heard the loudest ovation during lineup introductions and the Sixers were energized by his presence. It was hard to tell at times Embiid had missed so much time.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"687\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/1240496913.jpg?w=687\" alt=\"Tyrese Maxey reacts during the 76ers' Game 3 win over the Heat.\" class=\"wp-image-22177198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/1240496913.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1374 1374w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/1240496913.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1030 1030w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/1240496913.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=687 687w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/1240496913.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=343 343w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/1240496913.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 687px) 100vw, 687px\"\/><figcaption>Tyrese Maxey reacts during the 76ers\u2019 Game 3 win over the Heat. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">NBAE via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cBecause of the concussion stuff, he couldn\u2019t do anything,\u201d Rivers said. \u201cSo he\u2019s not been able to run and doing other stuff that all of us great athletes would be doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Embiid is still playing with a right thumb ligament injury that will require offseason surgery. Embiid \u2014 who led the 76ers with 30.6 points and 11.7 rebounds this season \u2014 effected Game 3 just by his presence.
