LeBron held to single digits for only 10th time on Cleveland return

LeBron James held to eight points as Philadelphia 76ers lose 119-95 on his return to Cleveland; the 41-year-old received smattering of boos from Cavaliers fans during first half; James spent 11 seasons over two stints with the Cavs

LeBron James was held to single-digit points for only the 10th time in 1,630 NBA regular-season games as his Philadelphia 76ers were beaten on his return to face his former team the Cleveland Cavaliers.

James was held to eight points as the Cavaliers routed the 76ers 119-95 in an NBA Cup group stage game.

The 41-year-old, a native of Akron, Ohio, who elected to sign with Philadelphia in the offseason, instead of returning to Cleveland for a third stint, was 3 of 12 from the field, including 0 for 4 on three-pointers, while he committed six turnovers in 31 minutes.

"Definitely not feeling a good rhythm offensively," James said. "We didn't look like much offensively. We had a couple spurts, but too many turnovers on my behalf."

James received a smattering of boos from Cavaliers fans every time he touched the ball during the first half.
