Philadelphia 76ers vs Cleveland Cavaliers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Nov 5, 2025

The second quarter became the decisive margin in this Eastern Conference clash, as Cleveland and Philadelphia traded scoring bursts before the Cavaliers pulled away in the final stretches. Combined scoring jumped to 69 points in Q2 alone—the game's highest-output period—giving Cleveland the cushion it would need the rest of the way. The Cavaliers outscored the 76ers 29–40 in that quarter, yet still found themselves vulnerable entering the second half trailing by six; Philadelphia's 40-point second quarter kept them firmly in contention through halftime, when the combined total sat at 137.

The second half told a different story. Cleveland locked in defensively while maintaining offensive balance, restricting the combined output to just 116 points over the final 24 minutes. Q3 produced only 57 combined points, a stark cooling from the first-half pace, and by the fourth quarter's 59 combined points, the Cavaliers had secured control. Donovan Mitchell led Cleveland with 46 points, 4 rebounds, and 8 assists, while Jarrett Allen contributed 24 points and 10 rebounds and Evan Mobley added 23 points and 5 rebounds. For Philadelphia, Tyrese Maxey posted 27 points, 7 rebounds, and 9 assists, and Quentin Grimes matched him with 27 points, though Kelly Oubre Jr.'s 19 points couldn't bridge the gap. The final combined score of 253 came in below the market total, as Cleveland's defensive adjustments in the second half slowed the overall pace and limited Philadelphia's comeback chances.
