The Philadelphia 76ers visited the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday looking to extend their three-game winning streak as they began a three-game road trip.
Both teams were short-handed. The Sixers were missing James Harden and Tyrese Maxey. The Cavs were missing All-Star Jarrett Allen and key bench piece Kevin Love.
In the end, the Cavaliers used a huge second quarter to run over the Sixers, 113-85. Cleveland scored 44 points and shot a ridiculous 16-for-17 in the second frame. Philadelphia had a tough time getting stops even with Joel Embiid in the lineup and protecting the rim.
Embiid had 19 points, six rebounds and six assists on the night. NBA Twitter had the best reactions to the Cavaliers pummeling Philadelphia on their home floor.
