NEW YORK — The 76ers sent an opening-night message they’ll be a contender for the Knicks’ NBA title after adding LeBron James and Jaylen Brown, rallying for a 106-100 victory Tuesday. Tyrese Maxey scored 28 points and Brown had 19 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists in his first game since being acquired from Boston. James began his NBA-record 24th season by finishing with 14 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists.
