76ers-Cavs best and worst: Frye, Covington and 6 late turnovers

My look at some of the best and worst performances from the Cleveland Cavaliers' 102-101 victory over the 76ers on Saturday night at the Wells Fargo Center:

Best performance:  Channing Frye gets this on a night when two of his teammates – LeBron James (25 points, 14 assists) and Kevin Love (20 points, 11 rebounds) – posted double-doubles.  Frye was solid in a reserve role, scoring 12 points. All his points came on four three-pointers, in eight attempts. His final one with 1 minute, 5 seconds remaining turned out to be the game-winning basket. It gave Cleveland a 102-101 advantage.

Worst performance:  This goes to Robert Covington for the fourth consecutive game. This time, I kind of feel bad for giving it to him, because all he needed to do was make shots to have a solid game. Covington had eight rebounds, three steals, two blocks and two turnovers.  However, all that took a backseat to his offensive woes.  Covington finished with four points on 1-for-10 shooting.  His lone made shot came on one of his nine three-point attempts.  He, however, missed his final seven shots. Things were so bad that fans starting booing and the Cavs left him wide open on the final play.

Best performance by a Sixer:  You have to give this to Ersan Ilyasova. The new addition made 8 of 13 shots – including going 4 of 6 on three-pointers – to finish with 21 points in a reserve role. The power forward had four rebounds and zero turnovers in 28:16 of action.

Best defensive performance:  With four blocks, Joel Embiid is the logical person to win this award. Three of his blocks came on shots by James. The Sixers center also had 22 points, six rebounds and one steal.

Worst statistic: How can you not give this to Embiid's six turnovers?  He recorded three in the final 3:09.

Best statistic: This award goes to the Cavs' fast-break points. Cleveland had a 40-13 advantage in fast-break points.

Worst of the worst: This goes to the Sixers' committing six turnovers in the final 3:09. Sure, the controversial no-call on Gerald Henderson's drive on the final play hurt. But the Sixers had several other late opportunities, and kept giving the ball away. They finished the game with 17 turnovers.
