Joel Embiid and James Harden combined to score 28 points at the
foul line alone to help Philadelphia earn the win. The 76ers
shot 12 more free throws than the Cavs.
"We deserved to win that game," Bickerstaff said. "That game was
taken from us. We deserved to win it."
Bickerstaff, who has spent parts of six seasons as head coach of
the Houston Rockets (2015-16), Memphis Grizzlies (2017-19) and
Cavaliers (2020-22), went on to say he wanted referees to
officiate the game consistently at both ends of the floor.
Cleveland (43-36) remained in seventh place in the Eastern
Conference after the loss, while Philadelphia (48-30) is tied
for third and just 2.5 games out of first.
