After Action Report
The 76ers fended off the Hornets 97-88. Ugly basketball, but the 76ers did just enough. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
