The Philadelphia 76ers’ matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night marked their third game in four days–and they sure played like it. Cleveland outwilled Philadelphia on extra-effort plays, as it registered 11 second-chance points in only eight minutes of play. The Cavaliers’ physicality set the tone as the 76ers couldn’t overcome it
Philadelphia (22-17) unraveled against Cleveland (23-19) 133-107 at Xfinity Mobile Arena tonight in a game where it lost on both ends of the court. The Cavaliers’ rapid dribble penetration forced the 76ers to scramble and they couldn’t make up for it offensively. Philadelphia didn’t have it in multiple ways, but one game shouldn’t negate the progress it made lately.
