The Philadelphia 76ers edged the Charlotte Hornets 125–121 on October 25 at Wells Fargo Center in a tight contest decided by execution down the stretch. Tyrese Maxey led the 76ers with 28 points, while Quentin Grimes added 24 as Philadelphia made 18 three-pointers on 47.1% shooting overall. Charlotte's LaMelo Ball countered with 27 points and Collin Sexton contributed 21, though the Hornets shot a slightly better 48.3% from the field. The Hornets dominated the third quarter 38–25 to seize control, but Philadelphia's fourth-quarter surge—39 points—proved decisive. Philadelphia's 10 steals reflected strong perimeter defense, while Charlotte grabbed 45 rebounds to 40 for the hosts. Both teams committed costly turnovers (Philadelphia 15, Charlotte 16), but the 76ers' balanced 29 assists and Maxey's scoring punch gave them the edge in a game that hinged on late-game discipline and shot-making. The result underscores Philadelphia's depth as Maxey and Grimes shouldered scoring responsibilities early in the season.
