Watch: Whiteside collects 17 points, 11 rebounds in 1st quarter vs. 76ers

The Philadelphia 76ers were at the mercy of center Hassan Whiteside early against the Miami Heat on Saturday night, as the 7-foot leviathan got whatever he wanted around the basket with little resistance from the opposition.

At the end of the first quarter, Whiteside had already notched his 31st double-double of the 2016-17 campaign with 17 points (8-of-10 shooting) and 11 rebounds, along with two rejections.

It was the highest-scoring quarter of the 27-year-old's career. His 17 points were also as many as Philly dropped the entire 12 minutes - Miami held a 32-17 lead at the end of the frame.
