Cleveland, OH (My Sportsbook) - Despite having a chance to match the NBA record of 40 home regular season wins in a season, the Cleveland Cavaliers sat superstar LeBron James for Wednesday's tilt against the Philadelphia 76ers. In addition to James, Mo Williams, Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Joe Smith all sat out for Cleveland, which had already clinched home-court advantage for the entire playoffs with the best record in the league. The Cavs, though, lost 111-110 in overtime to Philadelphia, finishing 39-2 at Quicken Loans Arena, one win short of matching the 1985-86 Boston Celtics for the best home record in a single season. Philadelphia earned the No. 6 spot in the Eastern Conference with the win coupled with Chicago's loss to Toronto. |
