McCain drops rookie career-high 27, carries Sixers to wild OT win vs. Hornets

Hey, look at that, a win!

The Sixers narrowly avoided catastrophe in Paul George’s home debut, knocking off the Charlotte Hornets 107-105 Sunday night. They led by as much as 16, but needed overtime to get the job done.

Jared McCain, asked to carry the offense for most a lot of the second half, finished with 27 points on 10-of-18 shooting. Eleven of those points came in the fourth quarter.

Guerschon Yabusele had another standout game off the bench, finishing with 20 points and eight rebounds playing the bulk of the center minutes in the second half.
