Cavs-76ers 1st quarter recap
76ers 29, Cavs 28
* Anderson Varejao is off to a fast start in his preseason debut. Varejao had six points (3 of 4 shooting) and four rebounds, while Mo Williams had three assists. Williams has already played seven minutes and Varejao 8 1/2. Byron Scott wants to keep both players between 20 and 25 tonight.
* Ramon Sessions and Boobie Gibson entered at the same time. Will be interesting to see if that continues. Both have played well together during the preseason and Scott may elect to keep the pair working together as much as possible. Of course, that won't always be possible throughout the course of a game.
* J.J. Hickson had five rebounds in the first quarter. He obviously got Scott's message the other day, when he said if Hickson doesn't play good defense, he won't be starting.
* Interesting to see Jawad Williams off the bench in the first quarter. He has had a quiet camp.
