The Philadelphia 76ers travel to Cleveland to face the defending NBA Champion Cavaliers. But like many preseason games, what should you be looking for? We give you five keys to watch this evening
The 1-1 Philadelphia 76ers travel to Cleveland to confront the defending NBA Champion Cavaliers. While your mind spins around the chance at a victory for the Philadelphia Eagles tomorrow, there is an excellent basketball game to fill your senses and hopes.
The team is coming off a grueling marathon loss to the Washington Wizards at home Thursday night. In fact, the game was so demanding that Philadelphia 76ers’ head coach Brett Brown gave the team Friday October 7th, off. Will it help the 76ers recover in time to meet the Cavaliers?
The Philadelphia 76ers are are team trying to build positive momentum, and so far they are doing just that. Despite a 1-1 record, the team has been stronger defensively than last year, has reason to be optimistic over rookies Joel Embiid and Dario Saric this season, and have yet to see the impact of key players so far this year from Jahlil Okafor, Jerryd Bayless or Ben Simmons.
So, just prop your feet up and let us point out five key points to observe in this third preseason game:
