The Sixers suffered a heavy 130-93 defeat to the Hornets, ending their 11-game winning streak against them. Key players Joel Embiid and Paul George were absent due to injury management, leading to a poor performance from the team, particularly from Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe, who combined for just six points. Brandon Miller led the Hornets with 30 points, while Kelly Oubre Jr. scored 17 for the Sixers. The team now faces the Bucks on Tuesday, needing to improve significantly.
