They won three straight, now they’ve lost three straight. On the second night of a back-to-back, Cody Zeller scored a season-high 24 points on 10-13 FG while grabbing seven rebounds, and Devonte’ Graham had a 19-point 10-assist double-double in the Hornets’ 116-104 loss to the Sixers.
The Hornets’ first bucket of the game came off of a free-throw line pull-up from Terry Rozier. The Sixers made a point to get the ball inside early, with Joel Embiid, Al Horford, and Tobias Harris all scoring early. Embiid got Cody into foul trouble at the 7:59 mark, and he sat for the remainder of the first quarter.
