Cleveland Cavaliers at Philadelphia 76ers
· National Basketball Association
Short-handed 76ers beat Cavaliers 132-129 to end 7-game losing streak
Cleveland lost its second straight to drop into a tie for the NBA lead with Oklahoma City at 36-8. Philadelphia is 16-27.
Donovan Mitchell scored 37 points for Cleveland, and Ty Jerome had a career-high 33, making all eight of his 3-point tries.
Philadelphia star center Joel Embiid missed his 10th straight game because of a left knee injury. He also was ruled out by coach Nick Nurse at Chicago on Saturday night.
Jerome’s second straight 3-pointer put Cleveland up 116-110 with 6:17 remaining, but the 76ers ran off 13 consecutive points to go up seven. The Cavaliers had the ball with a chance to tie it, but Jerome turned it over on an inbounds play.
Kelly Oubre Jr. added 22 points for the 76ers. Darius Garland had 26 for Cleveland.
76ers: Though it hasn’t happened much this season, Philadelphia proved it can win against the league’s top teams without Embiid.
