Sixers-Cavaliers observations, 'best' and 'worst' awards: LeBron James, Jerryd Bayless and Sixers' late-game self destruction

CLEVELAND – Here are my key takeaways and “best” and “worst” awards from the 76ers’ 105-98 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night at Quicken Loans Arena.

Five observations

  • The Sixers can’t get over the injury-bug blues. Small forward Robert Covington is the latest Sixer to join the injured list. He suffered a game-ending, lower-back contusion with 68 seconds left after falling on a metal object while trying to save the ball. Covington is not expected to play in Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans at the Smoothie King Center.
