It’s no secret that Philadelphia 76ers (10-7) have had the Charlotte Hornets‘ (7-7) number this year. In fact, it even goes further than that with Charlotte’s last victory over Philly coming on November 2nd, 2016. That’s eight straight losses for the Hornets against the 76ers.
The good news is that in the two games these teams have played against each other, the combined margin of victory is just three points. So, the Hornets have shown they can compete with Philly, but they just can’t close the games out, which has been their kryptonite for some time.
