The Cleveland Cavaliers pulled off an incredible comeback victory against the Philadelphia 76ers on January 16, 2026, leaving fans in awe.
Jaylon Tyson, with a career-high 39 points, and Evan Mobley, who sealed the deal with a game-winning dunk, led the Cavaliers to a remarkable 117-115 win. Despite missing key players Darius Garland and Sam Merrill due to injuries, the Cavaliers showed resilience and determination.
But here's where it gets controversial...
The 76ers, led by Joel Embiid's 33 points and Tyrese Maxey's all-around performance, seemed to have the game under control. However, a crucial 13-2 run by the Cavaliers, including a clutch 3-pointer by De'Andre Hunter, tied the game at 102.
And this is the part most people miss...
With just over a minute left, Hunter's layup gave the Cavaliers a one-point lead. Mobley's free throw extended it to two, but Maxey's last-second heroics tied the game again. In a tense timeout, Tyson set up Mobley for an easy dunk, putting Cleveland ahead by two points. Maxey's desperate attempt from beyond half-court fell short, and the Cavaliers secured the win.
The 76ers, despite a strong showing, couldn't overcome the Cavaliers' relentless effort.
