Hornets vs 76ers
Back to backs are always tough in the NBA, they’re especially tough when you’re without 5 important rotational players, so I absolutely loved the fight that the Hornets put up against a very solid Philadelphia 76ers team.
Led by my player of the game(s) Kelly Oubre Jr., who shot amazing, the Hornets forced overtime in game one and almost stole game two in regulation. At the end of the day playing small ball without your starting center is pretty hard when you’re going up against and MVP caliber center in Joel Embiid. Embiid destroyed us both offensively and defensively, and he ended the back to back with 75 points on only 13 missed shots and 23 rebounds.
Overall the fight the the hornets gave was amazing and something to be proud of. We will stay in the queen city for the third straight game to play the Sacramento Kings Friday night.

Kelly Oubre Jr.
Guard/ForwardKelly Oubre is a classic swingman. He can easily play out front in a guard position or at 6’7″ “swing” to a small forward.
