Tyrese Maxey erupted for 38 points to lead the Philadelphia 76ers to a 109-104 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday night. The win came with star center Joel Embiid sidelined, leaving Maxey to shoulder the offensive load.
Maxey's scoring outburst powered Philadelphia past a competitive Hornets squad. The 76ers improved their record with a hard-fought road win, relying on their All-Star guard's ability to create shots and finish at the rim.
Charlotte kept the game close throughout but could not overcome Maxey's dominant performance in the closing minutes. The Hornets fell short despite a balanced attack, dropping a tight contest at home.
