76ers Beat Hornets in Overtime, End Losing Streak

Jared McCain scored a career-high 27 points, leading the Philadelphia 76ers to a 107-105 overtime victory against the Charlotte Hornets, snapping a five-game losing streak. Guerschon Yabusele also shined with a career-high 20 points, while Paul George contributed 15 points but sat out the overtime. Lamelo Ball was the standout for Charlotte with 38 points, including a crucial fadeaway 3-pointer that sent the game into overtime. The 76ers struggled with their shooting, missing 14 of 15 3-point attempts in the first half, yet found success at the free-throw line in overtime. Despite missing key players like Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, the young duo of McCain and Yabusele stepped up significantly. Both teams will compete in the NBA Cup round-robin starting Tuesday, with Philadelphia facing the Knicks.
