Daily News | Sixers and Harden get back on track in a 144-114 rout of the Charlotte Hornets
They followed up Thursday’s dismal performance against the Detroit Pistons with Saturday’s scintillating 144-114 victory over the Charlotte Hornets.
They broke the game open in the third quarter, outscoring the Hornets, 45-27. The 45 points tied for the second-most points the Sixers have posted in a quarter this season. They had a season-high 47 in the third quarter vs. the Orlando Magic on Jan, 19. Tyrese Maxey and reserves Georges Niang and Shake Milton were the Sixers’ other double-digit scorers.
“But his numbers are not going to be like his numbers in Houston, because he’s playing with a pretty good player [in MVP candidate Joel Embiid].. So those types of numbers I would never compare him to or anybody to.”
