CLEVELAND (Ticker) -- Andre Miller scored 20 points and SamuelDalembert added 16 points and 19 rebounds, leading the Philadelphia76ers to a 92-86 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday.

After Damon Jones hit a 3-pointer at 7:58 to give the Cavaliersa 75-74 lead, Miller's drive and layup gave the Sixers a 76-75lead. Andre Iguodala drained a 3-pointer to start an 8-0 spurtduring the middle portion of the fourth quarter to seizecontrol.


Dalembert's putback at 6:24 gave Philadelphia an 81-75 lead.

"We want to get back on that sweet roll and enjoy it," Dalembertsaid. "Tonight was a game to prove ourselves, and we did it.I knew I had to come in today and do way more than I did (Fridayin a home loss to Sacramento). We were a great team today."

Trailing 86-84, LeBron James missed a fadeaway shot from theright corner with 1:05 to play. Iguodala pushed the ball up thecourt and was fouled by Shannon Brown on a drive to the basket.

Cleveland's Drew Gooden was called for goaltending on the play,and the subsequent three-point play gave Philadelphia an 89-84lead with 1:01 left.


While Philadelphia shot just 39 percent (32-for-83) for thegame, the Sixers did not need to score much to overcome asluggish overall effort from the Cavaliers, who lost for theeighth time in nine games.


Two free throws by Kyle Korver and one by Iguodala at the endsealed the win.


"You can't get any better than this," said Sixers forward ReggieEvans, who grabbed 14 rebounds in support of Dalembert.

Philadelphia secured 14 offensive rebounds and scored 35fast-break points.


"They hammered us on the offensive glass," Cleveland coach MikeBrown said. "We're reeling a little bit because of the lossesthat we've had."


"We don't have one guy out there who's on their own agenda,"Iguodala said. "Everybody is playing team basketball. When weget stops, we get our fast-break points."


The Cavaliers shot just 25 percent (4-of-16) from the field inthe final quarter. Indicative of Cleveland's struggleswas James, who entered the game leading the league infourth-quarter scoring.


"We're not playing good basketball right now," James said."We're not a very good team."


The three-time All-Star accounted for just five second-halfpoints, including only three in the final 12 minutes.

"It was a team win," Philadelphia coach Maurice Cheeks said."Everybody that came into the game was focused on the things wetalked about before the game. We continued to stress throughoutthe game that when LeBron comes off a screen-and-roll, tocorral it, and not let him get to the rim."


James, who entered the game second in the NBA with 10.6free-throw attempts per game, did not reach the foul line until4:14 of the fourth quarter - his only free-throw attempt of thecontest. He finished with 21 points.


Iguodala added 20 points for the Sixers, who won for the fifthtime in six contests.


Gooden also had 21 points for the Cavaliers. Despite the loss,Cavaliers guard Larry Hughes did not seem fazed.


"We've been up and down; it's just about catching a rhythm," hesaid. "We need to mix it up better. We need to get everybodyinvolved. But, it's early. There are a lot of games to beplayed."
