Exactly a month ago, the Philadelphia 76ers welcomed the Cleveland Cavaliers to Wells Fargo Center with Cleveland riding a seven-game winning streak and sitting only a game behind Philadelphia for the East’s No. 3 seed. Now, the Sixers are enjoying a five-game winning streak and venturing into Cleveland’s Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse sitting three games clear of the Cavaliers for third. The two teams square off Wednesday, with each side looking to win the season series, 2-1.
For the Sixers, this contest marks the start of a stretch in which they play seven of their next eight on the road.
