The Christmas Day game between the Miami Heat and the Philadelphia 76ers today (26th) lacked a bit of a “star” flavor. Joel Embiid and Jimmy Butler were both absent due to injuries. The Heat finally won 119-113 at home, but head coach Erik Spoelstra led the team on Christmas Day with a 9-0 record, becoming the best in NBA history.
Joel Embiid of the 76ers was last season’s Most Valuable Player and the scoring champion for two consecutive seasons last season and last season. He was absent today due to an ankle sprain.
The Heat’s spiritual leader Jimmy Butler suffered a calf strain, Josh Richardson had back discomfort, Haywood Highsmith was ill and all missed the game. Starting forward Caleb Martin also left the game early due to an ankle sprain.
Although the Heat were short-handed, rookie Jaime Jaquez Jr. jumped out and contributed 31 points and 10 rebounds, creating the first “double ten” in his career.
According to the Associated Press, Jaime Jaquez Jr. said happily, “I am very happy to get a victory on Christmas night in my career.” He said, “I grew up watching these games. In order to be able to participate in the game, I just go back to basics, train hard, stay up late in the gym and be ready for moments like this.”
As for creating the best Christmas coaching record in NBA history, Erik Spoelstra said that generally speaking, if you play on Christmas, you will be regarded as a competitive team, “This is an incredible Glory, but you can never take it for granted.”
