LeBron James's quiet night: Cavaliers beat 76ers 119-95

On Friday night, the Cavaliers hosted the Philadelphia 76ers and won the NBA Cup group stage game 119-95. The most talked-about name in the game was LeBron James. When James was introduced as the team's final starter, Northeast Ohio fans gave him a warm ovation.

On the court, however, James had a night he will probably want to forget. He played 31 minutes, shooting 3 for 12, and missed all four of his three-point attempts. He also committed six turnovers. In his career, James has played 1,630 NBA regular season games, and this performance was only the tenth time he finished with a single-digit point total. He made 2 of 6 shots in the paint and finished with 8 points.

Cavaliers center Evan Mobley scored 22 points. Before the game, Mobley said one of his main goals was to protect the paint. James left the game with 3 minutes and 54 seconds remaining, when the 76ers were trailing by 19 points. The visiting player said he could not find his offensive rhythm on the floor and that the team did not generate much offense.

James, who wore the Cavaliers jersey for 11 seasons in total, returned to the team in two separate stints. His choice of Philadelphia and his decision not to return to Cleveland a third time drew a reaction from fans. He was booed every time he touched the ball in the first half, and the Cavaliers' decision not to show the classic video introduction for him in this game also drew attention.
