Heat’s struggles issued perfect example of why LeBron James joined the 76ers

The Sixer Sense's Justin Grasso argues that early-season performances justify LeBron James's decision to sign with Philadelphia instead of Miami. The 76ers defeated the New York Knicks 106-100 at Madison Square Garden behind strong team defense, overcoming a 28 percent shooting night from deep. James contributed 14 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists in his 34-minute debut with Philadelphia.

Meanwhile, the Miami Heat suffered a 131-106 blowout loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Grasso highlights Miami's shooting and spacing issues after they shot just 24 percent from three-point range, pointing out that Giannis Antetokounmpo's 35-point effort was undone by defensive struggles against Anthony Edwards, who scored 45 points.
