Sixers erase 29-point deficit to beat Cavaliers

Philadelphia 76ers rallied from a huge deficit to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 114-106 in their home season opener. The team trailed for most of the game and faced a 29-point gap against its opponent in the first half.

In the first half, Donovan Mitchell stood out for Cleveland with 22 points. Philadelphia's 14 turnovers and poor shooting from three, where it made only three, made the home team's task harder. After halftime, the picture changed completely. Joel Embiid scored seven straight points to bring the score to 96-95.

In the final quarter, Tyrese Maxey's intensity on both defense and offense proved decisive. The Sixers went on a 15-0 run in the fourth quarter to take the lead and close out the game. Maxey scored 32, Embiid added 24, and Jaylen Brown had 21.

LeBron James recorded a double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds. For Cleveland, Mitchell scored 32 points, but the team fell apart in the final minutes and could not secure the win. With this result, Philadelphia has two wins in two games.
