PHILADELPHIA: This was supposed to be a night to celebrate LeBron James entering the top 10 in NBA history in scoring. It was supposed to be a night of rest – even coach Tyronn Lue acknowledged before the game he hoped to play little-used reserves such as Kay Felder and Chris Andersen.
Instead, the unbeaten Cavs trailed the winless Philadelphia 76ers by five points with less than four minutes to play. James did crack the top 10, but nothing else went right in a 102-101 win over the Sixers in a game that ended with the Philadelphia crowd booing the officials off the floor.
