George was on fire, scoring 33 points and dishing out eight assists. Maxey didn’t hold back either, dropping 40 points and making some key plays. It was a solid team effort, especially with four players out due to injuries.
Despite the injury woes, the Sixers started strong. Maxey hit a couple of threes early, setting the tone for the game. George also got off to a hot start, scoring 15 points in the first quarter alone. They really took charge, showing they could still compete without their star player, Embiid.
Foul trouble was a bit of a headache for the Sixers, especially for Drummond, who had to navigate some tricky calls. But he still managed to grab 10 rebounds in the first half. The team had a few turnovers, which made things a bit messy, but they held it together.
Oubre was another standout, contributing 19 points and making some smart plays. He’s been a reliable player lately, and his performance helped keep the Hornets at bay. The Sixers had a solid lead, but the Hornets made a push in the second half.
In the end, though, George and Maxey stepped up when it mattered most. Maxey’s driving layup and George’s timely threes helped seal the deal. It was a fun game to watch, and the Sixers showed they can still shine even when the odds are against them.
