Spencer Hawes scored nine of his 14 points in the last seven minutes and Jrue Holiday added 14 points and nine assists as the Sixers handed the Cavaliers their sixth consecutive defeat.
Nick Young and Jason Richardson were also in double figures with 13 and 12 points, respectively, as Philadelphia beat Cleveland for the sixth straight time.
Alonzo Gee had a team-high 17 points and Anderson Varejao and Tristan Thompson split 28 points and combined for 28 boards for the Cavaliers, who managed to hold an opponent under 100 points for the first time in nine games.
Richardson's 3-pointer capped a 7-0 run to give the Sixers a 69-59 lead with 8 1/2 minutes left. The Cavaliers cut the deficit to 75-73, but Hawes hit a 3-pointer and Turner connected from the baseline to make it 84-75 with 1:49 to play.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Sixers center Andrew Bynum addressed the media prior to Sunday's game and said both his knees started to swell after he went bowling eight days ago. Bynum, who has yet to practice or play with Philadelphia due to a bone bruise in his right knee knee, said doctors told him the cartilage in his knee is in a "weakened state." ... Cavaliers rookie center Cody Zeller, the No. 17 overall pick, had all six of his points in the fourth quarter in his second game back after sitting out four games with a fractured left orbital bone and a concussion. ... Nick Young did not play in the fourth quarter because he was feeling dizzy and light-headed.
