The Charlotte Hornets (7 - 19) defeated the Philadelphia 76ers (2 - 23) 109 - 91 on Friday. Charlotte ended their four - game losing streak with the win. Kemba Walker led the way with a game - high 30 points in 38 minutes. Al Jefferson put up a double - double of 20 points and 12 rebounds. The Hornets were playing without starting shooting guard Lance Stephenson. He is dealing with a pelvic injury that will keep him out of Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz as well. Philadelphia has lost five straight games. On the bright side of things, the Sixers shot 45 percent from the field, 46 percent from beyond the arc and 88 percent from the free - throw line. However, as has been the case all season for the Sixers, they coughed up too many turnovers, giving up 34 easy points off of 24 turnovers. Coach Brett Brown opted to use a 10 - man rotation that gave every player on Philadelphia at least 11 minutes of action. Alexey Shved was traded to the Houston Rockets on Friday as part of a three - team trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Sixers received back a second - round pick and Ronny Turiaf's contract. Philadelphia will start a seven - game road trip on Sunday against the Orlando Magic.
