Evan Mobley drained a go-ahead 3-pointer with 28.2 seconds left as the Cavaliers edged the Philadelphia 76ers 117-114 before hitting the road.
— Donovan Mitchell looked different wearing a protective mask. With the All-Star guard finally back, so did the Cavaliers.
Georges Niang scored 25 points against his former Philly teammates and Mobley had 18 of his 20 in the second half as the Cavs won for just the second time in six games. After the Sixers took a 113-112 lead when Tyrese Maxey tipped the ball away from Garland and scored on a layup, Mobley, who didn't attempt a shot in the first half, hit a 3-pointer from the corner to put Cleveland up two.
The Cavs have been aimless without Mitchell, who missed 15 of 20 games since the break with a bruised left knee and the nasal fracture. He looked rusty, and admitted the mask isn't ideal.
