Game Summary
The Cavaliers are back at home for four of the next five games, beginning tonight when they take on the Philadelphia 76ers for the second of three regular season matchups. Tipoff is at 7:00 p.m. ET.
Cleveland (29-20) is on a 10-game winning streak, which is the 2nd-longest active streak in the NBA. It is also the team’s longest since winning a franchise-record tying 13 games in a row from Jan. 16-Feb. 11, 2010. During their current streak, the Cavs are outscoring opponents by an average of 12.9 points (109.5-96.6) while also holding them to just .420 shooting from the field.
The Wine and Gold have also won six straight contests at Quicken Loans Arena, matching their season-high (Nov. 24-Dec. 15). The last time Cleveland had a longer winning streak at home was from Feb. 23-Apr. 6, 2010 when they won 11 home games in a row. The Cavs have also won by double figures in five of their last six games at The Q.
Philadelphia (10-38) gave the streaking Atlanta Hawks all they could handle on Saturday but couldn't close out down the stretch in a 91-85 loss. Six players scored in double-figures for the 76ers who had won their previous two games before Saturday's defeat.
Second year guard, Michael Carter-Williams, leads the Sixers with averages of 15.3 points, 6.2 rebounds and 7.3 assists.
