The Sixers will next face the Magic in a road mini-series on Friday and Sunday. Here are observations on their loss to the Hornets:Montrezl Harrell started a second straight game and scored the Sixers’ first hoop, rolling to the rim and throwing down a dunk.
with 13 points on 4-for-5 shooting in the first quarter. The 24-year-old did commit one costly turnover when he declined an open three-pointer, tossed an uncertain pass, and fueled a Hornets fast break. Still, an occasional mistake created by unselfish motivations is fine. The Sixers actually managed to convert more free throws than Charlotte , but the foul trouble was impactful. Though no one reached six, the Sixers had to change their rotations and tweak their style of play. Head coach Doc Rivers used zone defense throughout the night. He also had the Sixers blitz Rozier in the fourth quarter, although he still hurt them with a few key self-created shots down the stretch.
P.J. Tucker went 34 minutes and finally broke a very long scoreless streak when he made a corner three in the fourth. Heading into the night, he’d posted zero points on 0-for-8 shooting over the Sixers’ last four games.
