After a brutal three-game road trip, the Sixers will return home on Friday night as losers of seven contests in a row. Things will not get any easier, as they will face the Eastern Conference-best Cleveland Cavaliers, who trashed the Sixers in Cleveland last month.

The Cleveland Cavaliers head to Wells Fargo Center to face the Philadelphia 76ers in an Eastern Conference matchup. The Cavs are 36-7, which puts them in first place, and gives them the best record in the NBA. The Sixers are 15-27, which puts them in 11th place.

The Cleveland Cavaliers' 109-108 loss to the Houston Rockets was heartbreaking on many fronts. There was questionable officiating both ways that led to the result but missed free throws and poor offensive execution down the stretch is what did the Cavs in.

Cleveland missed two key free throws in the final seconds of its 109-108 defeat to Houston on Wednesday night.
