The Sixers were looking to turn things around as they faced the Charlotte Hornets. The team needed a win here as they finished their road trip with three straight losses. Starting an easier five-game swing, the Sixers had a chance to start on the right foot.
First Quarter
During the opening minutes, the Sixers continued their turnover woes. Looking sloppy and defending loosely, Philadelphia was clearly playing down to their opponents. The team did settle in as they made it a point to work down low, giving Embiid plenty of opportunity to work the post.
Teamwork was on full display as nine of the Sixers’ first ten buckets came off assists.
