MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — These are tough times for the Miami Heat.
Joel Embiid scored 35 points and grabbed 18 rebounds, and the Philadelphia 76ers added to Miami’s early-season struggles by topping the Heat 124-114 on Monday night.
The win came hours after the 76ers finalized a trade with Minnesota to land four-time All-Star Jimmy Butler, who was in Philadelphia and not with the club in Miami. Butler will be introduced at the 76ers’ facility in Camden, New Jersey, on Tuesday, before he flies to Orlando and makes his debut with Philly on Wednesday night against the Magic.
