PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Jaylon Tyson scored a game-high 39 points, Evan Mobley’s dunk with 4.8 seconds left was the game-winner and the shorthanded Cleveland Cavaliers completed a two-game sweep of the 76ers in Philadelphia with a 117-115 victory Friday night.

Donovan Mitchell added 13 points, 12 assists and nine rebounds for Cleveland, which rallied from an 11-point deficit in the fourth quarter. The Cavaliers beat the 76ers 133-107 on Wednesday.

Joel Embiid scored 33 points and Tyrese Maxey had 22 points, nine assists and five steals for the 76ers.

Cleveland was without Darius Garland (sore right toe) and Sam Merrill (sprained right hand), both injured Wednesday. Coach Kenny Atkinson said both will be reevaluated when the team returns to Cleveland this weekend.

The 76ers looked in control when Paul George hit a jumper with 8:47 left to take an 11-point lead. But the Cavaliers used a 13-2 run, capped by De’Andre Hunter’s 3-pointer with 5:53 left, to tie it at 102. Philadelphia went ahead by seven points after the Cavs converted three straight possessions, but Cleveland hung around.

Hunter’s layup with just over a minute left put the Cavs on top. After Mobley made one of two free throws with 22.7 seconds left, Maxey tied it on a runner with 8.1 seconds left. After a timeout, Tyson set up Mobley near the basket to easily put Cleveland up by two. Maxey’s half-court shot that would have won the game went long.

PACERS 127, PELICANS 119

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Center Jay Huff had a career-best 29 points and nine rebounds and led five players in double figures as Indiana beat New Orleans.

The 7-foot-1 Huff, who entered Friday averaging 8.4 points, shot 13 of 17 from the field and 3 of 6 from 3-point range. The center’s previous high was 22 points, scored last year when playing with the Memphis Grizzlies in a victory over the Dallas Mavericks. Huff was acquired by Indiana in a trade with Memphis during the offseason.

Pascal Siakam scored 20 of his 27 points in the first half, and Andrew Nembhard added 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Pacers, who won for the fourth time in five games. Aaron Nesmith and Quenton Jackson scored 12 points apiece as Indiana closed out the home stretch 3-1 and improved to 8-16 at home.

Zayoni Williamson led New Orleans with 27 points on 10-of-12 shooting from the field and 7-of-10 shooting from the line. Williamson was 8 of 8 from the field in the first half, when he scored 21 points.

Trey Murphy III scored 22 points, Saddiq Bey added 20, Jeremiah Fears finished with 16, Derik Queen had 14 and Jordan Poole 11 for the Pelicans, who went 3-16 on the road. Queen also had 12 rebounds.

INETS 112, WOMEN 109

NEW YORK (AP) – Michael Porter Jr. made a layup with 5.4 seconds left after Brooklyn scored 20 points in the fourth quarter, and the Nets beat Chicago.

Porter scored 26 points and Noah Clowney had 23 points and 11 rebounds for the Nets, who are on a five-game losing streak. Day’Ron Sharpe scored 14 points and rookie Danny Wolf scored 13.

Nikola Vucevic scored 19 points and Ayo Dosunmu scored 18 for the Bulls in the home-and-home series opener.

Coach Jordi Fernandez thought the Nets could have won all three games on their recently concluded road trip, but it appeared they wouldn’t have to worry about another finish after a 15-0 run in the second quarter helped them take a 17-point lead, their second-largest of the season.

Cam Thomas’ 3-pointer to open the fourth quarter made it 92-72 before the Bulls scored the next 11 points. Thomas hit another 3 to stop that burst, and the Nets still led by six with one minute left.

The Bulls then scored seven consecutive points to take a 109-108 lead on Tre Jones’ layup with 11.4 seconds left. The Nets ran the play to get Porter the ball near the basket, putting the Nets back on top. Rookie Drake Powell then stole a Chicago pass and a two-pointer by Clowney made it 112-109 before Vucevic missed a three-pointer.

CLIPPERS 121, RAPTORS 117, OT

TORONTO (AP) – James Harden had 31 points and 10 assists, Jordan Miller had 19 points and Los Angeles extended its winning streak to five games by beating Toronto.

The Clippers are 7-14 on the road. They have won four of the last five away from home.

Kawhi Leonard missed his team’s season-long tour of Toronto with a sprained ankle. Leonard won the 2019 NBA championship with the Raptors.

The Raptors lost for the second time in 21 games when they led after three quarters.

Toronto led 109-101 with 3:35 left in regulation, but missed six straight shots as Harden forced overtime with a personal 8-0 run. Harden made four straight free throws to start OT.

128 KINGS, 115 SCHOLARS

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) – Domantas Sabonis scored 13 points in his return from a knee injury, Russell Westbrook had 26 and Sacramento beat Washington for its fourth straight victory.

Sabonis is back after missing 27 games with a torn meniscus in his left knee. The three-time All-Star came off the bench with 5:11 left in the first quarter.

Sabonis also had seven rebounds and five assists in just over 21 minutes. He was 5 of 6 from the field, with the miss coming from 3-point range.

Dennis Schroder returned to the Kings after being suspended for three games for confronting Lakers star Luka Doncic after a game in Los Angeles. Schroder had 15 points and five assists.

Westbrook was 9 of 14 from the field, hitting 6 of 9 3-pointers, and had six assists. DeMar DeRozan scored 17 points, while Precious Achiuwa and Zach LaVine scored 16 each.

Alex Sarr led Washington with 19 points, while Tre Johnson had 18. The Wizards dropped to 10-30 with their fifth straight loss.

ROCKETS 110, TIMBERWOLVES 105

HOUSTON (AP) – Kevin Durant scored 39 points and made a season-best six 3-pointers to lead Houston to a win over Minnesota.

Alperen Sengun added 25 points with 14 rebounds to help the Rockets bounce back from a loss to Oklahoma City on Thursday night.

A 6-2 run by the Timberwolves, with four points from Julius Randle, got them to 105-102 with about 90 seconds left. Sengun fouled out after that and Jaden McDaniels made one of two free throws to get Minnesota within two points.

Durant made two free throws with less than a minute left before Randle turned the ball over and Durant was fouled again. He made two more free throws with 22.1 seconds left to clinch the win.

Durant’s big shooting night came after he went 0 for 5 on 3-pointers against the Thunder.

Randle had a Timberwolves-high 39 points on a night when Anthony Edwards missed a second straight game with a foot problem.

The Timberwolves trailed by six points after a basket by Bones Hyland before Rudy Gobert missed a chance to close the gap by missing three of his next four free throws. Houston stayed up by 5 later in the fourth, but Sengun’s dunk extended the lead to 103-96 with 3½ minutes left.
