Cleveland Cavaliers vs Philadelphia 76ers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Jan 14, 2026

Cleveland's second meeting with Philadelphia this season told a sharply different story than their first. The Cavaliers won 132–121 in November, a high-octane affair that totaled 253 points. Friday night at Wells Fargo Center went the opposite direction—a 26-point rout that landed at 240 combined, still enough to clear the 236.5 market total by 3.5 points, though DAGGER's pregame UNDER call missed.

The difference lay in the second half. The teams combined for 107 points through two quarters, nearly tracking their seasonal averages, but Cleveland suffocated Philadelphia after halftime. The third quarter produced 61 combined points, and the fourth exploded to 72, with the Cavaliers pulling away decisively. Donovan Mitchell led the charge with 35 points, 7 rebounds, and 9 assists, while Darius Garland chipped in 20 points and 7 assists and Evan Mobley added 17 points with 13 boards. Joel Embiid managed just 20 points on a rare off night for the 76ers, who couldn't find rhythm despite Paul George's 17 points and Tyrese Maxey's 14. Cleveland's defense tightened the screws—a departure from both teams' recent pace—while the Cavaliers' closing 40-point fourth quarter overwhelmed a Philadelphia side that mustered just 32.
