76ers blow 19-point lead in 106-89 loss to Heat, as Joel Embiid takes no foul shots

The Philadelphia 76ers continued a disappointing start to a promising season with arguably their worst effort yet.

Philadelphia blew a 19-point first half lead and eventually lost 106-89 to the Miami Heat on Monday.

After taking a 46-27 lead with 9:23 remaining in the second quarter, the Sixers were then outscored 61-26 over the next 14:37. By the end of the third quarter, Miami led 88-72.

It was 46-27 Philly in the second,

It is now 88-72 Miami after 3.

That’s a 61-26 run.
