The Cleveland Cavaliers crushed the Philadelphia 76ers 133-107 on Wednesday night. Far from home, Cleveland played like giants. The victory came after a painful defeat against the Utah Jazz just days earlier.

Donovan Mitchell led the charge with 35 points to go along with seven rebounds and nine assists. Scoring 20 himself, Darius Garland shot 8-13 to give Mitchell some solid help.

Fumbling through most of the game, the 76ers hit only 40.4% from the field, tripped up by careless mistakes and weak outside coverage. Joel Embiid dropped 20 points and reached 13,000 total points in his career.

This wasn’t the way Embiid wanted to score 13,000 points, in a loss, but he and the 76ers will look to bounce back on Friday when they face the Cavaliers once again.
