NBC10 Philadelphia's report catches both sides of the Sixers' home opener against Cleveland: the basketball that rescued it and the celebrations that followed. Philadelphia trailed by 29 points just before halftime, then turned the game around to win. The station describes it as the team's biggest comeback in the play-by-play era and the biggest of James' career.

Clark's highlights include a James dunk, Jaylen Brown scoring and Tyrese Maxey contributing to the second-half surge. But the report doesn't finish with the plays. Kushner picks up the story outside the illuminated arena, where departing spectators wave shirts, chant and try to put the turnaround into words.

"Great game, great effort. Came back down 20 plus," one fan says. Another offers a more personal greeting: "Let's go Sixers! Welcome home, LeBron!"

The segment reached roughly 46,000 views in its first day, an unusually large audience for a regular NBC10 upload. In the comments, one viewer is only two games into being a Sixers supporter; others focus on James' home debut and the reversal after a difficult first half.

NBC10 has also followed the celebration into another report, with Aaron Baskerville talking to fans and looking at ticket prices ahead of the weekend's home games.
