Sixers seeing the value of Guerschon Yabusele after win over Hornets

PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia 76ers made a big switch in the lineup in Sunday's 107-105 overtime win over the Charlotte Hornets. Coach Nick Nurse turned to Guerschon Yabusele to start the second half after a slow start from Andre Drummond.

While Drummond's numbers were solid, the Sixers were unable to truly get going. The offense looked clunky at times and the defense was leaky. At the half, Yabusele was a plus-11 while Drummond was a minus-10 with Philadelphia leading the Hornets by one at halftime

Yabusele responded in the third quarter with 12 points in the frame on 5-for-7 shooting while knocking down two triples.
