The Cleveland Cavaliers (3 - 1) defeated the Philadelphia 76ers (0 - 3) 107 - 100 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on Monday. It wasn’t easy going for the Cavaliers against one of the worst teams in the NBA, as they quickly fell behind 32 - 18 to the Sixers after one quarter. However, on the coattails of LeBron James, Cleveland didn’t panic and came back strong, outscoring Philadelphia 64 - 40 over the next two quarters. James finished with a team - high 22 points (9 - 19 FG) and fell one rebound shy of a triple double, dishing out 11 assists and grabbing nine boards in 33 minutes. Mo Williams also was effective and continues to fill in nicely for Kyrie Irving, as the veteran point guard recorded 21 points in 28 minutes on 8 - of - 10 shooting from the field. J.R. Smith left Monday’s game after just five minutes with a right knee contusion, and as a result, Matthew Dellavedova saw more playing time off the bench and finished with 12 points (5 - 8 FG) and nine assists in 34 minutes. For the 76ers, Jahlil Okafor was once again efficient on offense, scoring a game - high 24 points (11 - 21 FG), but managed to grab just three rebounds in 27 minutes. Okafor’s partner in the frontcourt Nerlens Noel scored 14 points (7 - 13 FG), grabbed eight rebounds, and blocked three shots in 33 minutes. However, the surprise performance of the game came from backup rookie point guard T.J. McConnell, who played 23 minutes off the bench and recorded six points (3 - 4 FG), 12 assists and seven rebounds in the losing effort. Up next, the Cavaliers will head home Wednesday to take on the Knicks, while the 76ers will travel to Milwaukee on Wednesday to play the Bucks.
