Sixers Rally Past Hornets 109-104: Maxey Scores 38 as Philadelphia Close on a 15-3 Run
The Philadelphia 76ers rallied to beat the Charlotte Hornets 109-104 on October 31 at Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, as Tyrese Maxey scored 38 points and the visitors, playing the second night of a back-to-back without Joel Embiid and LeBron James, closed the game on a 15-3 run for a third straight win.
Charlotte shot its way to a 37-27 first-quarter lead, but Maxey's 19 first-half points kept Philadelphia close and the Sixers led 57-54 at halftime. The Hornets pulled back in front in the third quarter before the game tightened again late.
Rookie VJ Edgecombe buried a clutch three as part of a 13-0 burst and finished with 10 points and eight rebounds. Anfernee Simons added 19 points, and Jabari Walker returned from injury with 12 points and six rebounds off the bench; Jaylen Brown also returned to the lineup. Philadelphia outscored Charlotte 32-21 in the fourth quarter.
Grayson Allen hit seven of 10 three-pointers for 27 points and Brandon Miller scored 24 for the Hornets, who fell to 3-4. The Sixers improved to 6-1 and host the Chicago Bulls on Monday. (Reporting from Sixers Wire, Liberty Ballers and PHLY)
