Sixers snap Cavs winning streak with 123-121 win

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – In Monday’s matchup, the Cleveland Cavaliers entered the court boasting an impressive nine-game winning streak, the lengthiest active record in the NBA. However, their aspirations were squashed by the Philadelphia 76ers, who emerged victorious with a final score of 123-121.

Noteworthy performances from Kelly Oubre Jr. and Buddy Hield, both contributing 24 points each, played a pivotal role in the Sixers’ success. These two athletes demonstrated exceptional skill, particularly in crucial moments down the stretch.

Donovan Mitchell showcased his scoring prowess by leading all players with an impressive 36 points, complemented by six assists. Darius Garland followed closely behind with a commendable 21 points, while Jarrett Allen secured his 26th double-double of the season, accumulating 21 points and 10 rebounds.

Despite facing the absence of key players like Joel Embiid, sidelined due to a knee injury, and Tobias Harris, the 76ers displayed resilience and depth in their roster to secure the victory.

Looking ahead, the Cavaliers are set to host the Chicago Bulls on Sunday before entering the All-Star Break, where they will have the opportunity to regroup and strategize for the challenges ahead.
