76ers-Cavaliers Highlights

The 76ers were 2.5-point favorites, per FanDuel Sportsbook, but the Cavs cleared that easily thanks in part to a great defensive performance and a strong second unit that scored 44 points.

LeBron James' first game in Cleveland as a 76er didn't go well, as the 24-year veteran (11 as a Cavalier) shot just 3-of-12 en route to eight points and six turnovers.

Philadelphia center Joel Embiid missed all nine of his field goal attempts, and the team as a whole made just 36 percent of its field goals (25 percent from three-point range).
