As expected, the Miami Heat moved to 8-4 with a second straight victory over the winless Philadelphia 76ers. But it was all but easy.
The Miami Heat started off the game in the worst way possible. In the first quarter, the Heat already had eight turnovers while shooting just 35% from the field. It was simply atrocious to see careless play after careless play and watch the Philadelphia 76ers built a 17-point lead early in the second after a 24-4 run. Even defensively, Miami looked simply slow and gave a lot of easy points to arguably the worst offense in the NBA.
