Balanced Sixers fight through injuries to upset red-hot Cavs in a thriller

The hottest team in the NBA has met their match, and it’s the #HospitalSixers apparently.

Philadelphia went up to Cleveland and ended the Cavaliers nine-game winning streak, beating them 123-121 Monday night as their entire starting five scored in double figures.

Kelly Oubre Jr. went for 24 points, shooting 10-of-14 from the floor. Buddy Hield had 24 as well, shooting 9-of-13 from the field along with eight assists before fouling out.

Tyrese Maxey shot 9-of-21 for 22 points and nine assists. Donovan Mitchell led all scorers with 36 points but was denied by Paul Reed on the last shot of the game.
