3-0

Miami Heat 86-81 Philidelphia 76'ers. Wade was declared unfit to play, thanks to an ankle injury he got in the pre-match warm up, and Pat Riley chose to play James Posey in his place. It only just worked with Posey missing a lot of unmarked shots, but he made up for them in the defensive part of his game, most of the points were got by O'Neal (27) and Williams (24). But nevertheless, a win for Heat and they are now 3-0.
