Hobbs played a solid game, leading Cleveland to a 99-92 upset of Philadelphia. "It was an 'upset' in name only," said Philadelphia coach Bob. "They were the better team today. Bob had his team better prepared than I had mine, and Hobbs was just too much for us to handle. It you didn't know the teams' records but just saw this game, you'd say Cleveland was the better team by far."

Cleveland was led by Hobbs (16 points, 16 boards, 5 assists, a steal, 3 blocks), Patrick (23 points, 5 boards, 3 assists, a block), Smith (15 points, a steal). Philadelphia was led by Roberson (14 points, a steal, a block), Garcia (25 points), Franklin (17 points, 7 boards, 0 assists, a steal, 2 blocks).

Cleveland stand at 13-13 and 9-5 at home after today's win. They remain at #5 in the Central and stay at #10 overall in the Eastern Conference. Philadelphia stand at 15-10 with the defeat. They move down to #2 in the Atlantic and drop to #7 overall in the Eastern Conference.
