Wrap-Up -- On Sunday afternoon, the heavyweight Sixers simply wore the Wine & Gold down – outscoring the shorthanded Cavaliers by 19 points in the final quarter to avenge an early-season upset and take the 128-105 decision at The Q.
As they had in their November 23 victory in Philadelphia, the Cavaliers jumped out to an early lead – scoring 36 points in the opening quarter and jumping out to a double-digit lead at the start of the second.
But the Sixers outscored Cleveland by two touchdowns in that second period and, after the Cavs rallied back into contention after half – cutting Philly’s 13-point third-quarter lead to one – were able to completely pull away in the fourth.
