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. Cleveland lost its second straight to drop into a tie for the NBA lead with Oklahoma City at 36-8.

Here are three biggest takeaways for the Philadelphia 76ers following a skid-snapping win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Once again playing short-handed, the Sixers needed everybody to step up and produce. Already missing Joel Embiid and a slew of others, they then lost Paul George at halftime due to a left fifth finger injury.

The 76ers faced the Cavs for the final time this regular season. Joel Embiid and Evan Mobley were both inactive.
