The Philadelphia 76ers edged the Charlotte Hornets 118–114 on March 28 at Spectrum Center in a defensive struggle that fell short of the 231.5-point Vegas total. Joel Embiid and Paul George led Philadelphia with 29 and 26 points respectively, while B. Miller scored 29 and L. Ball added 20 for Charlotte. The 76ers' superior efficiency proved decisive: they shot 48.8 percent from the field and made 16 three-pointers compared to the Hornets' 37.5 percent and 17 threes, a marginal difference that reflected Philadelphia's overall offensive execution. Charlotte's second quarter collapse—scoring just 33 points after a strong 36-point opening frame—compounded their deficit, and the Hornets managed only 17 points in the fourth quarter as Philadelphia's defense tightened. The 76ers' 122.0 offensive rating and defensive rating of 116.2 showcased balanced play, while Charlotte's 116.2 offensive rating and 122.0 defensive rating mirrored their struggles. Philadelphia's seven steals and five blocks further stifled Charlotte's rhythm, and both teams committed nine turnovers. The road victory strengthens Philadelphia's playoff positioning heading into the final stretch.
