Sixers move to 3rd seed in win over Cavs

Ben Simmons led the Philadelphia 76ers past the Cleveland Cavaliers 132-130 with his 12th triple-double of the season. Simmons (27 points, 15 rebounds and 13 assists) had help from J.J. Redick (28 points), Marco Belinelli (23 points), Ersan Ilyasova (17 points and 11 rebounds) and Markelle Fultz (10 points).

Cleveland was led by Lebron James, who was determined to put his stamp on this game. James (40 minutes, 44 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists and eight turnovers) was unstoppable all evening. James received help from Jeff Green (33 points) and Kevin Love (17 points and nine rebounds), but it wasn’t enough despite the Sixers blowing a 30-point lead.
