The Sixers certainly didn’t have the most convincing mini-series against the Hornets, but the positive is they at least picked up two wins and Joel Embiid seems to be settling into form on offense. The big fella was dominant on both ends of the floor and had his way against a small, depleted Hornets frontcourt, scoring 75 total points and going 27-of-33 from the free throw line over the two games.
As the Sixers return home, they’ll immediately be faced with a challenge against the 17-7 Utah Jazz, currently sitting at third place in the Western Conference.
