PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (AP) – Tony Wroten scored 20 points and hit the go-ahead layup with 9.1 seconds left to lift the Philadelphia 76ers to a 95-92 win over the short-handed Cavaliers on Monday night.
Kevin Love had 28 points and 19 rebounds for the Cavaliers, who didn’t have LeBron James and Kyrie Irving with them on the trip because of injuries. They lost Dion Waiters and two reserves shortly before tipoff because of a trade.
Cleveland traded Waiters to Oklahoma City and acquired guards J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert from the New York Knicks in a three-team deal.
A disappointing 19-16 after losing at Philadelphia, the Cavs received the Thunder’s protected 2015 first-round pick. Cleveland also sent reserves Lou Amundson and Alex Kirk and its 2019 second-round pick to the Knicks.
