The Charlotte Hornets faced the Philadelphia 76ers after a three-game losing streak, exacerbated by injuries to key players LaMelo Ball and Mark Williams. The 76ers capitalized early, with Tyrese Maxey scoring 15 points in the first quarter. Despite a spirited effort from the Hornets' bench, led by Vasilije Micic, they couldn't overcome a significant deficit, ultimately falling short as Joel Embiid shone in the fourth quarter.

While the bench provided energy and forced turnovers, Miles Bridges struggled offensively, particularly in the first three quarters. Vasilije Micic, however, achieved a season-high 20 points, showcasing his improvement. The Hornets will look to bounce back in their next game against the Houston Rockets.
