Updated NBA Cup Group B standings after Sixers fall to Cavaliers

The Philadelphia 76ers took a tough loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday as they fell 119-95 on the road . The loss dropped the Sixers to 1-1 in Group B play and their hopes of advancing to the knockout rounds took a big hit in the process. Jaylen Brown, VJ Edgecombe, and Tyrese Maxey were able to put together decent games against the Cavs, but Joel Embiid and LeBron James combined to shoot 3-for-21 as it was a struggle for the two MVPs to get into the flow of the game. Now, the Sixers will need to earn some big wins in their final group stage games to have a shot at advancing.
