The Philadelphia 76ers invade the Spectrum Center to battle the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night.
The Philadelphia 76ers have been in pretty good shape recently as they’ve won five of their last seven games and they will be eager to stay hot after last night’s 115-106 win over the Nets. Tobias Harris led the team with 24 points on 10 of 21 shooting, De’Anthony Melton added 22 points while Shake Milton and Georges Niang each scored 16 points. As a team, the 76ers shot 43 percent from the field and 16 of 32 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 33 points in the first quarter to take the early lead before pouring in 30 points in the fourth quarter to pull away and earn the impressive win. The 76ers were efficient from behind the arc, they committed just nine turnovers and they grabbed a total of 20 offensive rebounds.
Meanwhile, the Charlotte Hornets have been in a major slump as they’ve lost 11 of their last 12 games and they will be hoping to snap a three-game slide after falling short to the Wizards in a 106-102 road loss on Sunday. Kelly Oubre Jr. led the team with 23 points on 10 of 20 shooting, Gordon Hayward added 20 points while PJ Washington chipped in with 13 points. As a team, the Hornets shot just 39 percent from the field and eight of 32 from the 3-point line as they held the Wizards to just 18 points in the third quarter to overcome a 10-point deficit, but they managed just 23 points themselves in the fourth quarter to allow the Wizards to slip away in the end.
