In a 2-0 series hole without Joel Embiid, Sixers have nothing to lose against the Heat and must play like it

MIAMI — The cliché is reality in this situation.

The 76ers have nothing to lose in the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Miami Heat. Down 2-0 without the NBA's scoring leader, the Sixers are at a huge disadvantage after a 119-103 loss in Game 2 Wednesday night at FTX Arena. And they're going to continue to be at a disadvantage until Joel Embiid returns from the concussion and orbital fracture near his right eye he suffered against the Toronto Raptors.

Without him, the Sixers have made 14 of 64 three-point attempts and have been outrebounded, 91-71.
