Despite a 76ers team down Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey, this wasn't an easy win for the Cavaliers. Philadelphia's role players clearly had something to prove, and they played the Wine and Gold hard for the full 48 minutes.

By the Cavaliers' standards, their start to this game was a bit sloppy, which allowed the 76ers to take a 54-48 lead at halftime. Cleveland committed eight turnovers, which led to 10 big points for the 76ers, which is something the Wine and Gold have been very good at preventing this season.

The Cavaliers' defense also slipped in the first half, as the 76ers connected on 45 percent of their shots from the floor and 38 percent of their three-point attempts in the first two quarters.

The game remained tight heading into the fourth quarter, and then Donovan Mitchell took over and showed yet again why he's one of the top players in the NBA.
