The Cleveland Cavaliers ( 18 - 7 ) defeated the Philadelphia 76ers ( 1 - 28 ) 108 - 86 on Sunday . The game marked the return of Kyrie Irving to the court for the first time since suffering a fractured kneecap in last season 's NBA Finals . The 23 - year - old gave Cavs fans and management plenty of reason for optimism , as he tallied 12 points , four assists , a rebound and two steals over a highly productive 17 minutes . Irving drained a pair of three - pointers as part of that effort , and looked crisp overall in his first game action . While they are sure to manage his minutes carefully in the first few games , an already formidable Cavs squad now stands to greatly benefit from the talent infusion that the All-Star point guard provides . The Sixers were led by Nerlens Noel 's 15 points , which he impressively supplemented with 12 rebounds , an assist , a steal and a block . The power forward was the sole Philadelphia starter with double - digit scoring , as reserves T.J. McConnell and Jakarr Sampson were the only other teammates to join him in that distinction with a pair of 10 - point efforts . Rookie standout Jahlil Okafor struggled against the one of the stingiest defenses in the NBA versus opposing centers , netting only nine points and eight rebounds . Robert Covington and Isaiah Canaan each struggled through a pair of 2 for 9 shooting performances from the field , and the Sixers shot a forgettable 35 percent as a team . Philadelphia fell to 1 - 28 and sports the worst record in the NBA . They currently reside in last place in the Eastern Conference 's Atlantic Division , and head home to face the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday . The comfortable lead the Cavs held in the second half allowed them the luxury of sitting LeBron James for the entire fourth quarter . He filled out the stat sheet through three periods anyhow , collecting 23 points , five rebounds , four assists , three steals and a block over just 25 minutes . Kevin Love joined Irving and James in double - digit scoring with 10 points , and the Cavs power forward added four rebounds , an assist and a steal over a scant 22 minutes . Timofey Mozgov 's eight - point , eight - rebound performance rounded out an efficient afternoon for the starters , and Matthew Delladedova was outstanding off the bench in relief of Irving with 20 points , two assists , two steals and two blocks . The Cavaliers improved to 18 - 7 and have a hold of first place in the Eastern Conference 's Central Division . They remain home to face the Knicks on Wednesday .
