The fourth quarter was a nail-biter. The Cavs were down by 5 points with just over a minute to go. But then, Darius Garland hit a clutch three-pointer to bring the Cavs within 2 points. The 76ers missed their next shot, and the Cavs had the ball with a chance to tie the game.
With just seconds remaining, Donovan Mitchell drove to the basket and drew a foul. He calmly sank both free throws, sending the game to overtime.
Overtime was just as intense as the regulation game. The teams traded baskets back and forth, but neither team could gain a significant lead. Finally, with just over a minute remaining, Jarrett Allen hit a jumper to give the Cavs a 3-point lead. The 76ers had one last chance to tie the game, but their shot came up short, and the Cavs emerged victorious with a final score of 119-116.
It was an unforgettable night in Philadelphia, and one that I'll never forget. The Cavs showed incredible resilience and determination, and they pulled out a win against all odds. I'm so proud of this team, and I can't wait to see what they can accomplish this season.
