LeBron James' Cleveland Cavaliers may have lost 132-130 to the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday at the Wells Fargo Center but not before the four-time MVP posterized Ersan Ilyasova for two of his 44 points with a rim-rattling slam and staredown.
James finished with 11 assists and 11 rebounds as well and nearly led back the Cavaliers from a 30-point deficit on the road.
However, Ben Simmons (27 points, 15 rebounds and 13 assists) and JJ Redick (28 points) were too much for Cleveland's lackluster defense, and the 76ers moved ahead of the Cavaliers and into third place in the Eastern Conference.
