In another NBA regular season game of the 2025/26 season, the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 117-115 on the road, thanks to goals from Jalen Tyson, DeAndre Hunter, and Evan Mobley. Head coach Kenny Atkinson stated in an interview that Jalen Tyson performed exceptionally well on both offense and defense, delivering a five-star performance.
In their match against the Philadelphia 76ers, DeAndre Hunter and Evan Mobley hit crucial three-pointers in the first quarter to tie the game for the Cleveland Cavaliers. However, in the second and third quarters, the Cavaliers' scoring opportunities were limited, leaving them trailing.
In the final stages of the fourth quarter, Evan Mobley made a shot when the score was extremely close, and the Cleveland Cavaliers ultimately defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 117-115.
According to the data, Jalen Tyson scored 39 points and 4 assists for the Cleveland Cavaliers in this game, DeAndre Hunter scored 16 points and 4 assists, and Evan Mobley contributed 15 points and 4 assists for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson said, "He scored 39 points on 17 shots. Of course, everyone will only talk about Jalen Tyson's baskets, but they will ignore his defense against Tyrese Maxey."
"After he hit a three-pointer, he immediately went on a full-court press. He was outstanding on both ends of the court. What a fantastic game, a five-star performance. This player is truly exceptional. Of course, overall, we did what we were supposed to do, we withstood the opponent's comeback, and everyone stepped up."
In addition, 23-year-old Jalen Tyson said in an interview, "I just think it was a great team victory, and I don't want to attribute it all to myself. I did play a good game, but I think everyone contributed a lot. It was a great game, but I'm happier that we won. Now I can celebrate on the plane and then get a good night's sleep."
