The Cleveland Cavaliers remain unbeaten at home after winning a closely-fought game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Paul George led the Indiana Pacers to victory over the Miami Heat, scoring 36 points to leave both sides with 3-3 records after six games this season.

The Toronto Raptors slipped to their first defeat of the season as the Orlando Magic came from behind in the fourth quarter to secure their first win at home.

James Harden scored 43 to lead the Houston Rockets to a win over the Sacramento Kings, leaving the Rockets with a 3-3 after a slow start to the season.

The New Orleans Pelicans are yet to get off the mark this season as they were beaten by the Atlanta Hawks, despite Anthony Davis scoring 43 points for the home side.
