<p>Daniel Gibson scored 17 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter, while Anderson Varejao added 23 points and 12 rebounds to help the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.fearthesword.com/">Cavaliers</a> win their eighth straight game in Philadelphia, 123-116.</p>
<p>Mo Williams notched 22 points to go with seven assists, and J.J. Hickson donated 16 points and eight caroms for Cleveland, which had lost three straight since a season-opening win over Boston.</p>
<p>Jrue Holiday scored a career-high 29 points and handed out eight assists for Philadelphia, which erased a 19-point first half deficit and led by eight in the final quarter before faltering down the stretch.</p>
<p>The Sixers, losers in five of six to start the year, also lost the versatile Andre Iguodala to a strained right Achilles tendon.</p>

<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.fearthesword.com/">Cavaliers</a> are following a familiar script tonight in Philadelphia, as once again a big lead has dissolved and Cleveland finds itself on the short end of an 84-79 deficit after three.</p>
<p><span>Jrue Holiday</span> led the charge for Philly at the Wells-Fargo Center in the third quarter and has 23 for the ’Sixers, while for Cleveland — which at one time led this game by 19 points — <span>Anderson Varejao</span>, <span>Mo Williams</span> and J.J Hickson all have 14.</p>

<p>Can they hold a lead this time?</p>
<p>After being substantially ahead of Sacramento at the half and losing last weekend, the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.fearthesword.com/">Cavaliers</a> will try to hold onto a halftime advantage this time in Philadelphia.</p>
<p>Cleveland led by 19 early, but a late run by the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.libertyballers.com/">76ers</a> cut it to 61-53 at halftime tonight.</p>
<p>The Cavs are led by <span>J.J. Hickson</span> with twelve. <span>Mo Williams</span> chipped in with ten and <span>Anderson Varejao</span> and <span>Joey Graham</span> have eight for Cleveland, which has seen ten different players score at least three points.</p>
<p>Philadelphia is led by <span>Jrue Holiday</span> with ten.</p>

<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.fearthesword.com/">Cavaliers</a>, 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 <span>J.J. Hickson</span>’s eight first period points — lead 34-20 heading into the second quarter.</p>
<p>The Cavs, who have led by as many as 17, are attempting to earn their first victory since the season opener against a <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.libertyballers.com/">76ers</a> squad stumbling along at 1-4.</p>

<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.libertyballers.com/">Philadelphia 76ers</a> hope to build on their first win of the season Friday when they welcome the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.fearthesword.com/">Cleveland Cavaliers</a> to the Wells Fargo Center.</p>
<p>The Sixers are coming off a 101-75 thrashing of Indiana in Philly on Wednesday in which <span>Elton Brand</span> had game-highs of 25 points and 12 rebounds. Doug Collins was unable to see the conclusion of his first win as Sixers head coach, however. The veteran mentor stayed in the locker room after halftime due to symptoms of vertigo that caused him to miss time during the preseason.</p>
<p>"I had another one of my bouts. I can't take my medicine on days of games because it makes me so tired," explained Collins, who committed to being back on the bench tonight. "I'm happy for our guys. How hard they have worked and to be rewarded with this win."</p>
<p>Associate coach Michael Curry guided the team to the finish, witnessing six players hit double-digits as the Sixers snapped a four-game slide to start the year, which included a tough overtime loss to Washington on Tuesday.</p>
<p><span>Thaddeus Young</span> netted 16 points, <span>Evan Turner</span> contributed 12, while <span>Andre Iguodala</span>, <span>Jrue Holiday</span> and Lou Williams each had 11 in the resounding win.</p>
<p>The Cavs, meanwhile, lost their third straight game on Tuesday when <span>Marvin Williams</span> scored a team-high 22 points and <span>Al Horford</span> had 16 points and 12 rebounds, as the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.peachtreehoops.com/">Atlanta Hawks</a> defeated Cleveland, 100-88, at Quicken Loans Arena.</p>
<p><span>J.J. Hickson</span> went for a career-high 31 points for the Cavaliers, who have dropped the three straight after defeating Boston in their season-opener.</p>
<p>"Very proud of the way our guys played, especially after the first quarter," Cavaliers head coach <span>Byron Scott</span> said. "I loved the effort that our guys had and we have to continue doing that for the rest of the season."</p>
<p><span>Mo Williams</span> (groin) played in his first game of the year and scored 12 points off the bench but forward <span>Antawn Jamison</span> missed the contest with a sore knee.</p>
<p>Jamison is questionable for tonight's contest, while Williams is expected to return to the starting lineup in place of <span>Ramon Sessions</span>.</p>
<p>The Sixers have dropped seven consecutive home games to Cleveland, but the Cavs are a far different team now without superstar <span>LeBron James</span>. The last time the Sixers beat Cleveland in the City of Brotherly Love was nearly five years ago on Feb. 22, 2006.</p>
