On November 6, the NBA regular season continued, with the 76ers facing back-to-back games against the Cavaliers. Embiid took a rest in this game, and the 76ers were completely suppressed by the Cavaliers in the first quarter. Fortunately, they regained their touch in the second quarter and closed the gap. However, in the second half, the team misfired again, and the Cavaliers further pulled away, leading by up to 26 points. After that, the 76ers fought back, but fell behind too far. In the end, the 76ers lost to the Cavaliers 121-132 and suffered a 2-game losing streak.

As a powerhouse in the Eastern Conference, the 76ers performed very well at the beginning and achieved an unbeaten record of 4 consecutive victories, but then the team fell into a downturn. With this loss to the Cavaliers, they have lost 3 of the past 4 games. In fact, except for the complete defeat of the Cavaliers in this game, there are opportunities to win the other 2 games. Especially in the last game against the Bulls, the lead was up to 24 points. Unexpectedly, in the end, Vucevic was defeated by a three-pointer. While losing the game, he also lost the first position in the Eastern Conference.

Facing the Cavaliers this time, without Embiid, the team was at a disadvantage inside. It was firmly suppressed by the opponent and completely unable to withstand the opponent's offensive. It fell behind by up to 26 points. Even if the point difference was once approached to single digits in the final quarter, it was still unable to recover. This time Maxi was also isolated, scoring 27 points on 10 of 20, plus 7 rebounds and 9 assists. His performance this season is still very strong. It seems that after Embiid and George return, they need to face the reality that Maxi has become the core.

The 76ers' performance during this period was poor, and their execution on the court was not enough. Especially in the last game against the Bulls, Embiid was allowed to play alone in the final stage, completely losing energy and rhythm, and was eventually chased by the Bulls for consecutive points. In the past four games, the 76ers have been brought back to their original shape. They need to make some changes. If they maintain the focus on young players before, they can play more vitality. After Embiid returns, he needs to change his style of play and improve efficiency.

This time Mitchell also had a big win against the 76ers. He played 35 minutes, made 15 of 21 shots, 6 of 11 three-pointers, 10 of 10 free throws, and scored 46 points and 8 assists, with a plus-minus value of +17. After his comeback, he came back with full firepower and directly defeated the 76ers. In addition to Mitchell, Allen returned with 24 points and 10 rebounds, and Mobley scored 23 points to help the team successfully win the game.
