Hornets Fall to 76ers to Open Homestand

Result

Dwight Howard scored a season- and game-high 30 points and Nic Batum added a double-double (12 points, 10 assists) but no other Charlotte Hornet scored more than 12 points as Philadelphia came into Charlotte and took a 128-114 victory on Tuesday at Spectrum Center.

Turning Point

In a game featuring nine ties and eight lead changes in the first 17:14 of game action, something was bound to give. With Spectrum Center waiting to see some sort of run put together by either team late in the second quarter, it was the 76ers who took control following a Cody Zeller bucket inside that cut Philly’s lead to 50-48 with 4:46 remaining in the half.
