That score line was no fault of James, who had 25 points, 14 assists and eight rebounds, but after leading 34-19 after the first quarter, the Cavs lost each of the next three quarters.

Kevin Love also nabbed a double-double for Cleveland with 20 and 11 rebounds. As a sign he has put last season’s postseason struggles behind him, Love has three double-doubles in six games this season.

Joel Embiid did his best to produce the upset. He scored 22 points with six rebounds as he continued to impress in his de facto rookie season. Newly acquired power forward Ersan Ilyasova also helped the 76ers with 21 points off the bench.

In the end, however, the Cavs remained undefeated and Philadelphia remained winless when Iman Shumpert stole the ball from Gerald Henderson with 1.2 seconds left on the clock. It appeared as though a foul could have been called, but Henderson knew it wasn’t going to happen.

Studs of the Night

Pistons center Andre Drummond provided another example as to why he’s the best rebounder in the NBA during his team’s 103-86 win over the Nuggets. Drummond hauled in 20 boards while also scoring 19 points. He now has three 20-rebound games this season. The rest of the NBA only has one (DeAndre Jordan).

Rockets guard James Harden continues to put up massive numbers. Already nearly averaging a triple-double this season, Harden scored 32 points with 12 assists and nine rebounds in Houston’s 112-97 loss to the Hawks in Atlanta. Harden just doesn’t have the support he needs to help the Rockets win consistently.

Dud of the Night

Dwyane Wade played 22 minutes in the Bulls’ 111-94 loss to the Pacers and registered just four points on 1-of-9 shooting. Wade scored 35 points with 10 rebounds Friday against the Knicks. The Bulls have now lost three in a row.
