The Philadelphia 76ers (5 - 28) defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers (19 - 16) 95 - 92 on Monday at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. After a strong first half where the Cavaliers out - scored the Sixers 50 - 37, the Sixers made a strong push in the second half and fought their way back to take a 93 - 92 lead with just under 10 seconds left in regulation after Tony Wroten converted on a layup. The Cavaliers then had a chance to take the lead with three seconds left on the clock, but Matthew Delavedova was unable to convert on a layup of his own and the Sixers then clinched with a pair of free throws to seal the deal. Philadelphia shot a superior 48 percent from the field, while Cleveland went just 39 percent from the floor. Along with making the go - ahead layup, Wroten also scored a team - high of 20 points (8 - 18 FG, 0 - 6 3Pt, 4 - 6 FT), while adding eight assists. He's now averaging 25 points per game over his last three outings, as he's continued to be a consistent scoring threat off the bench for the Sixers. Michael Carter-Williams had a solid contribution of his own. He recorded his seventh double - double of the season, finishing with 18 points (8 - 19 FG, 1 - 6 3Pt, 1 - 1 FT) and 13 assists. He was very successful against a young Cavaliers backcourt without the likes of Kyrie Irving. Robert Covington got the start at small forward in this one. He took advantage of the start and posted 16 points (4 - 9 FG, 4 - 7 3Pt, 4 - 5 FT) and six rebounds in 39 minutes. He's had a solid couple of games in a row, combining for 39 points over his last two outings. Both K.J. McDaniels and Henry Sims had 12 points apiece. The Cavaliers were without superstars LeBron James and Kyrie Irving, but were still expected to come into Philadelphia and secure the victory. Despite the loss though, Kevin Love was one of the few bright spots. He had a monster double - double, recording 28 points (8 - 18 FG, 1 - 6 3Pt) and 19 rebounds. He also got to the free throw line 13 times, converting on 11 of those attempts. He's now averaging 28 points and 11 rebounds over his last three outings, as he's had to take it on himself to increase production with a few key members of the starting lineup sidelined. Tristan Thompson nearly had a double - double of his own and finished with 18 points (8 - 17 FG, 2 - 5 FT) and nine rebounds. The only other Cavalier to reach double - digits in scoring was Joe Harris. Harris was in the starting lineup, going 6 - for - 12 from the field and 4 - for - 8 from the three - point line to score 16 points in 31 minutes. The Cavaliers' next game will be at home against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday, while the Sixers will be at home against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday.
