After Action Report
In Philadelphia, the 76ers buried the Hornets 134-69. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. The 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the 76ers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.
