It looked like the Miami Heat were going to even up their Eastern Conference quarterfinal series against the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night. Dwyane Wade, who had turned back the clock in Game Two to lead the Heat to a win up in Philadelphia, came alive again for 25 points, and the Heat did a better job patrolling the three-point arc on defense, but the Sixers came back for a 106-102 win to earn a 3-1 lead in the series. The keys came on the boards, as Philadelphia won the rebounding battle by 14, and the Heat bricked 12 of their 25 free throws. So despite the fact that Philadelphia turned the ball over 27 times and made less than 25 percent of their shots from downtown, they were still able to win. Can the Heat extend the series on Tuesday night? Or will the 76ers finish off the first round on Tuesday night? Check out our NBA betting preview of this Eastern Conference tilt.
