After trailing by 29 points, Philadelphia produced the largest comeback in franchise history during the play-by-play era, while Cleveland endured its biggest blown lead. The comeback also became the most dramatic rally of LeBron James’s 24-year NBA career. The building shifted from halftime frustration to celebration, with the decisive moment arriving when Tyrese Maxey accepted a transition pass from James and buried a three-pointer.
