The Hornets entered intermission on the wrong side of a 53 - 46 score, but their 39 - point surge in the third quarter essentially put the game out of reach. The backcourt duo of Kemba Walker and Nicolas Batum combined for 42 points on 14 - of - 29 shooting from the field, and Charlotte shot 49 percent overall from the field. Cody Zeller and Frank Kaminsky III also combined for 27 points in the absence of Roy Hibbert (knee). Richaun Holmes and Jahlil Okafor helped fill in for the resting Joel Embiid on Wednesday, combining for 23 points, although Philadelphia was nevertheless outrebounded by a 44 - 37 margin overall. Ersan Ilyasova provided a spark in his first game in a Sixers uniform with 14 points off the bench, but the visitors still managed just a 40 percent success rate from the field.
