CLEVELAND — Buddy Hield scored 24 points in his third game for Philadelphia, Kelly Oubre Jr. also had 24 and the 76ers halted Cleveland's nine-game winning streak, hanging on for a 123-121 victory over the Cavaliers. The Cavs nearly rallied from a 10-point deficit in the final 1:25. They had a chance to win at the buzzer, but Darius Garland missed a 3-pointer from the right corner. All-Star Tyrese Maxey added 22 points for the Sixers, who won for just the third time in 11 games. Hield was acquired last week by the Sixers, who are trying to stay afloat without Joel Embiid. Donovan Mitchell led the Cavs with 36 points. Cleveland is 22-5 since Dec. 16.
