Joel Embiid and 76ers need some competition.
Nico Batum is low-key one of the league’s elite three-point shooters. And Marcus Morris Sr. continues to play some of his best basketball in the month of December.
Those three things stood out in the Sixers’ 135-82 victory over the Charlotte Hornets at the Spectrum Center.
No Completion Flow
Embiid finished with 42 points and 15 rebounds in just 29 minutes, 53 seconds and left the game with 19.8 seconds remaining in the third quarter as the Sixers (18-7) went on to win their sixth straight and send the shorthanded Hornets (7-17) to their fourth straight loss.
