NBA superstar LeBron James played his first home game for the Philadelphia 76ers following his high-profile move as a free agent, helping his new squad orchestrate a stunning 114-106 comeback victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers after trailing by as many as 29 points.

The dramatic win came mere hours after the leader of the US regime, Donald Trump, allegedly slammed the basketball icon, accusing him of disrespecting the national anthem during a previous fixture earlier in the season. Purportedly, the player was seen engaging in practice routines while the anthem was played, sparking widespread controversy and official condemnation.

During the opening half, the Cavaliers completely dominated the floor as Philadelphia struggled with turnovers and defensive lapses, drawing heavy jeers from the home crowd. However, the 76ers staged a remarkable turnaround in the second half, tightening their defense and outscoring Cleveland 60-37 to secure the historic win.

Reflecting on the match, James remarked that while the team demonstrated resilience, relying on such massive comebacks is far from an ideal strategy for the remainder of the season. Meanwhile, other league fixtures saw reigning MVPs experience shooting struggles in tightly contested matchups.
