Hornets hold off Sixers' comeback attempt, stay unbeaten in Summer League

The Charlotte Hornets enjoyed a double-digit lead for much of the night, but the Philadelphia 76ers made a run late and made things interesting down to the wire. Liam McNeeley missed one of two free throws when up two with four seconds left, forcing Charlotte to play defense and not foul. Ryan Kalkbrenner rejected the game-tying attempt to secure a 96-94 win.

Best of the Night: MJ Walker

Um, well, this was certainly a surprise. Yes, Walker did his damage strictly from downtown, but if it weren't for those triples, the Hornets wouldn't have won. Sure, I could have gone with Tidjane Salaun or KJ Simpson, but what a great moment for the former Florida State star, who is looking for an opportunity.
