Darius Garland scored 32 points, Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley recorded double-doubles and the Cleveland Cavaliers survived blowing an 18-point lead, beating the host Philadelphia 76ers 122–119 in overtime on Tuesday night in an NBA in-season tournament game.

The victory extended Cleveland’s winning streak to four games and improved the Cavaliers to 2–1 in East Group A action in the in-season tournament. The win came after Philadelphia rallied from 18 down to take a 110–108 lead and Cleveland forced OT with Garland’s free throws with 13.1 seconds left.
