  • The 76ers pushed the complacent Cavaliers all the way tonight in a thriller.
  • Cavs started well, but Jahlil Okafor and Joel Embiid were a headache all night long.
  • Embiid went 4/4 from three point range.
  • LeBron James was again the difference, his strong plays down the stretch gave the Cavs the slight edge they needed to pull out the victory.
  • LeBron had 25 points, 14 assists, 8 rebounds and 2 steals.
  • The Thunder got back on track with a solid victory against the struggling Timberwolves at home.
  • It was relatively comfortable as Westbrook had 28 and Kanter chipped in with 20.
  • Towns was the high man for the Timberwolves with 33. (He is not the problem)
  • The Orlando Magic pulled out a much needed victory at home to the Wizards who funnily enough needed the win just as bad.
  • John Wall did not play which was a huge factor.
  • No one scored more than 18 points in the contest.

  • Wade has just 4 points on 1/9 shooting.
  • There are 3 guarantees in life, taxes, death, and James Harden to have over 10 assists when playing the point guard position.
  • He falls 1 rebound shy of a triple double as he has 30 points, 12 assists and 9 rebounds.
  • However, it’s again in a losing effort.
  • Atlanta share the scoring load which was key to their victory.
