How the game unfolded
Philadelphia's eight-point victory did not follow a straight path. Cleveland built a sizeable lead during a 28–7 stretch running from the first into the second quarter, and the Sixers had to rebuild their offense against a physical Cavaliers front line.
The decisive counterpunch was a 20–3 Philadelphia run in the fourth. Tyrese Maxey finished with 32 points on 12-for-23 shooting and six assists; his individual scoring matched Donovan Mitchell's 32 for Cleveland. Joel Embiid added 24 points and seven rebounds, providing another pressure point near the basket.
This game is an example of why final score alone undersells momentum. A reader comparing the sides should look at each team's shot distribution, fourth-quarter possessions, fouls and the way Philadelphia created paint points. The Oct. 22 win is complete; the Nov. 6 road rematch is future-dated.

A box score and a recap answer different questions: the first attributes exact production to players and teams, while the second explains the sequence of possessions that determined the result. Treat the listed figures as specific to this date. A new game between the same franchises requires a new date-stamped table rather than quietly replacing this one.
