The Philadelphia 76ers beat the Charlotte Hornets 109-104 on Saturday night, rallying to the win with Tyrese Maxey scoring 38 points. Anfernee Simons added 19 points off the bench, and the 76ers were able to win despite resting stars LeBron James and Joel Embiid.
Several outlets describe how the game unfolded, including that Jaylen Brown was considered a game-time decision and started and finished with 16 points. Inquirer.net also notes the Hornets’ sellout crowd at the Spectrum Center and says James and Embiid did not play because Philadelphia rested both one night after beating the New York Knicks in an NBA Cup game.
Other coverage largely repeats the same core statistics—Maxey’s 38, Simons’ 19, Brown’s 16, and the final score—while Yahoo Sports frames the victory more with references to a “comeback” and an “Halloween” theme. Overall, outlets agree on the result and key performers, with emphasis varying between game context and narrative framing.
