The Philadelphia 76ers paid a visit to the Charlotte Hornets in Buzz City on Saturday on the second night of a back-to-back looking to keep their winning ways going. The Sixers entered the Spectrum Center on a 5-game winning streak as they have completely taken advantage of the soft part of their schedule.
It was more of the same on Saturday with the Hornets missing so many key pieces. The Sixers never trailed and led by as many as 53 on their way to another blowout win by a score of 135-82 over the Hornets on the road. Joel Embiid was once again fantastic as he had 42 points and 15 rebounds on the night in only three quarters.
Tyrese Maxey found his rhythm again and finished with 21 points and seven assists, Tobias Harris added 15 points, five rebounds, and four assists, and De’Anthony Melton had six points and four steals. Kelly Oubre Jr. added 12 points off the bench.
