In the first 6-plus minutes of his NBA head-coaching career, 76ers lead man Brett Brown saw his team make its first 11 shots and jump out to a 22-point lead over the two-time defending champion Miami Heat.
Eventually the Heat did what everybody anticipated and took the lead. But Sixers rookie Michael Carter-Williams outplayed pretty much everyone and posted a ridiculous line of 22 points, 12 assists, 9 steals, 7 rebounds and only one turnover to lead the Sixers to the improbable, 114-110 win in front of a near-sellout crowd of 19,523.
