A win with no Joel Embiid and an inefficient Tyrese Maxey is a legitimate miracle.
The Sixers held on for a gritty 104-97 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers Friday night. Maxey led the Sixers with 24 points, shooting 9-of-22 from the field along with five assists.
Cam Payne came off the bench with 16 points, while Tobias Harris bounced back after a rough first half, going for 15 points on 6-of-14 shooting while pulling down nine rebounds.
Kyle Lowry was out tonight due to ramp-up conditioning for returning to action. De’Anthony Melton appeared in his first game in over a month.
