The 76ers (1-2) defeated the Miami Heat (2-1), 99-79, at home on Friday night in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference Semifinals series. With the win, the Sixers cut into what is now a 2-1 series lead for the top-seeded Heat. 76ers MVP Finalist Joel Embiid, who did not play in either of the first two meetings due to injury, returned wearing a face mask and collected an 18-point, 11-rebound double-double in 36 minutes of action. 76ers Insiders Lauren Rosen, Matt Murphy, and Devon Givens talk Embiid, Tyrese Maxey's second-half surge, and more with the @sixers Twitter Spaces community.

Game 4 is scheduled for Sunday night at 8 p.m. in South Philadelphia.
