Dion Waiters' previous games against the Sixers at the Wells Fargo Center were ones he'd like to forget.

That's because the Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard and South Philly native had a tough time remaining focused.

"At the end of the day, it's great," Waiters said of playing in his hometown. "But it can also be a distraction. You got to see your people that you can see, and do things that you got to do.

"But I'm trying to be focused, man. I'm trying to have a big game here."
