PHILADELPHIA Collin Sexton flashed three fingers on each hand as he walked off the court a winner and simply said “that s game.”
And who saw that game coming for Cleveland?
Yes, the Cavaliers rebounded from a 10-game losing streak with wins against lowly Atlanta and Houston. But undermanned and arguably outmatched Sexton, Darius Garland and Isaac Okoro helped grind out an upset.
All-Star Joel Embiid missed a game-winning shot at the buzzer of regulation and the Philadelphia 76ers went on to fall 112-109 to the Cleveland Cavaliers in overtime.
Collin Sexton scored 28 points, Darius Garland had 25 and the feisty Cleveland Cavaliers beat the East-best Philadelphia 76ers 112-109 in overtime on Saturday (27 February). You know, I got the ball in my spot. You know, it doesn t matter where I caught the ball, I still got to my spot, and that s the shot I take 1,000 times. I ve been making it all season and that s my shot and I ve been working on it. It s unfortunate I missed it, so what? But you move on, you learn from it. The next time there is an opportunity I m sure I m going to make it, Embiid told reporters after the match.
