Jared McCain led the Philadelphia 76ers to a thrilling 107-105 overtime victory against the Charlotte Hornets, scoring a career-high 27 points. This win ended a five-game losing streak for the Sixers, who relied heavily on McCain and Guerschon Yabusele due to the absence of key players Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey.

LaMelo Ball shone for the Hornets with 38 points, including a crucial 3-pointer that forced overtime. Despite the loss, Charlotte struggled with their shooting, particularly from beyond the arc.
