PHILADELPHIA — Tyrese Maxey got in front of the Cavaliers’ transition defense for the one-handed slam, pumped his arm and screamed.
Well, his open mouth indicated he screamed. It was impossible to hear over a deafening Sixers home crowd.
They were celebrating a Sixers squad that overcame a 21-point first-half deficit and then pulled away down the stretch to a 125-119 victory Friday night at the Wells Fargo Center.
