Kelly Oubre scored 35 points as the to lead seven Charlotte Hornets scored in double figures, but they couldn’t overcome the Philadelphia 76ers in overtime, 127-124.
The Hornets came to play out of the gate. They started Cody Martin at point to replace the now absent Ish Smith. Nick Richards nearly matched his career high for points in a game with six early points while Kelly Oubre scored 12 minutes while playing the full first quarter. But the real fun began in the final two minutes of the quarter. JT Thor opened up his NBA scoring with one of the best first buckets you’ll ever see.
