Philadelphia trailed Cleveland 69-45 at halftime and by 29 overall, then outscored the Cavs 37-21 in the third quarter and took the lead with 6:54 left on a Joel Embiid 16-foot jumper over Jarrett Allen. Tyrese Maxey led everyone with 32 points and 6 assists. It was the Sixers' largest comeback and the Cavaliers' largest blown lead of the play-by-play era, and the biggest comeback of LeBron James' 24-year career. Donovan Mitchell had 30 points through three quarters but only 2 in the fourth.
"They were just punking us honestly, and we did a good job of playing back second." - Tyrese Maxey
"I've been here for a long time. ... I have no words." - Joel Embiid
