The Cavaliers, perhaps feeling more “together” as a team with four games under their belts and some practice time to work out some kinks, hit Philadelphia hard tonight in the opening quarter, and — led by J.J. Hickson’s eight first period points — lead 34-20 heading into the second quarter.
The Cavs, who have led by as many as 17, are attempting to earn their first victory since the season opener against a 76ers squad stumbling along at 1-4.
