CLEVELAND — Evan Mobley drained a go-ahead 3-pointer with 28.2 seconds left and Cleveland All-Star Donovan Mitchell — in his first game back from injury — made two late free throws as the Cavaliers edged the Philadelphia 76ers 117-114 before hitting the road. Georges Niang scored 25 points against his former Philly teammates and Mobley had 18 of his 20 in the second half as the Cavs, who have struggled without Mitchell, won for just the second time in six games. Darius Garland added 14 points and 12 assists for Cleveland. Kyle Lowry had 23 points and Tobias Harris 21 for the Sixers, hanging onto a play-in spot as they wait for superstar Joel Embiid to get healthy.
