Game review

What happened

The Cavaliers beat the 76ers 119–95 at home. Donovan Mitchell led them with 23 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists, and Evan Mobley added 22. For the 76ers, Jaylen Brown had 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

What the model got right

The model gave the Cavaliers a 52% chance at home, mainly because of home court, even though the 76ers rated clearly stronger (97.2 to 93.0), and they won by 24. Dominick Barlow for the 76ers, and Jarrett Allen and Jaylon Tyson for the Cavaliers, all missed the game, as the preview expected.

What didn't work

Our rating had the 76ers clearly stronger on paper, and on the night that didn't decide it. Jaylen Brown's 20 points for the 76ers weren't enough to change the result.

Why

The result fits what the model leaned on, home court. One win doesn't prove the model right: at 52% this was close to a coin flip, so it could easily have gone the other way, and every result stays on our record.
