The Charlotte Hornets dropped their second-straight game to the Philadelphia 76ers last night, 110-106. It was a closely contested contest, but two things got in the way of Charlotte bringing it home - turnovers and fouls. The Hornets turned the ball over 18 times, and social media was irate at the number of calls going Philadelphia’s way.
Philadelphia shot 30 free throws on the night, with 19 of them going to Joel Embiid alone. He averages 10.6 free throws per game this season, the most of any NBA player. Head coach James Borrego commented on his dominance and the number of free throws he took after the game:
“The 19 free throws that they shot, I’ll go back and watch them.
