Paul George scored 30 points, Tyrese Maxey had 29 and the short-handed Philadelphia 76ers beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 132-129 on Friday night to end a seven-game losing streak.

Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell led all scorers in this game with 37 points, but it was 76ers forward Paul George who led his team to victory with 30 points, five rebounds and three assists in 36 minutes of action. Appearing in his 29th game of the season, George raised his season scoring average to 17.4 points.

Philadelphia is on a 7-game slide. If the season was not already a lost cause, it certainly is on the brink. The Cavaliers come to Philly following a rare loss, 109-108, on Wednesday to Houston. Darius Garland had 26 in the loss.
