Caris LeVert was a sparkplug off the bench for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Cleveland Cavaliers fell to the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday in a game that saw the Cavs fall behind by 17 at one point and take a lead early into the fourth quarter. Unfortunately, the 76ers were just too much for the Cavs on the night and without Jarrett Allen, the team struggled to fend off incursions into the paint.

The Cavs ended up losing 118-114, and are now 39-30 on the season.

Caris LeVert was among some of the standouts on the night, however, with the recent Indianapolis Pacers transplant going for 15 points and seven assists off the bench, with a BPM of +10, a team-high for players who played 14 minutes or more.

A concerning note on the night involves Cedi Osman, who has benched the whole game in favor of Dylan Windler and Brandon Goodwin. Does this mean Osman has fallen out of the rotation or was JB Bickerstaff merely trying to find more defensive on the perimeter to try and slow down the 76ers?

Only time will tell.
