All five starters scored in double figures, but the Charlotte Hornets couldn’t overcome a poor first quarter and lost to the Philadelphia 76ers, 100-87.

The Hornets picked up where they left off on Wednesday by digging themselves into a massive hole in the first quarter. A close 11-10 game gave way to a 22-4 run by the 76ers to end the first quarter. The starters struggled to make shots while the bench struggled to even get shots at the rim. In the first quarter, the Hornets bench attempted four shots. They turned the ball over five times.
