Harris out with a hip injury.

[BelmontShore]

Really good offensive 1st Q for the 76ers.

Without Harris, the athleticism with Martin starting was really a factor. I'd like to see this unit around Embiid.

The defense on the perimeter still a little shaky.

[BelmontShore]

I gotta give it to him, Morey has totally upgraded the athleticism of the roster with his TD deals after also adding Oubre during the offseason.

The 76ers are getting follow dunks by wings when I don't remember in last years them ever getting a follow slam by anyone but a center.

Even trading Springer unleashed Council.

[Gennosuke]

Maxey not getting any calls tonight. Only 2 FT attempts despite driving to the rim repeatedly.

[Gennosuke]

Bamba actually made two good plays -- leaping for the rebound and then dunking on the other end.

Then Hield with a nice shot in the paint give the Sixers a 4pt lead.

[Gennosuke]

Council with two very clutch free throws to give the Sixers a 3pt lead with 10 secs left.

[Gennosuke]

Whew! Reed blocks Mitchell's potential game tying shot and then Garland misfires on a trey.

Sixers almost gave the game away at the end, but hold on for a huge win on the road against a sizzling hot Cavs team.

Sixers Win!!!!

Sing, Birches, Sing!!!!
