The Charlotte Hornets will welcome the Philadelphia 76ers to Spectrum Center for an NBA game on Thursday. The Charlotte Hornets lost 104-120 in their last game over the Cavaliers. Kelly Oubre Jr. had 28 points and Terry Rozier added 22 points and 10 assists for the Hornets, who have lost three straight and fell to 11-27 at home.

The Hornets never looked in sync offensively. Charlotte turned the ball over 22 times in all — many of those self-inflicted — while Cleveland had just nine turnovers leading to six points for the Hornets. Charlotte never challenged in the second half and Clifford subbed out his starters with four minutes to play and his team down by 19.

“There’s a reason why they’re the best defensive team in the NBA — they create a lot of turnovers, they’re physical, they have size,” Hornets coach Steve Clifford said. “When you get behind, it’s hard to come back. We had 10 more (turnovers) in the second half. You’re just not going to win” playing that way.”

The Denver Nuggets on the other hand won 109-118 against the Cavaliers in their last game. Joel Embiid went from fouling out to staying in. Philadelphia’s All-Star had 36 points and 18 rebounds and played the final 4:12 after a charging call for his sixth foul was overturned, leading the 76ers to their sixth straight victory, 118-109 over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night.

James Harden added 28 points and Tyrese Maxey had 23 for the Sixers. They were up 108-101 when Embiid was whistled for plowing into Evan Mobley while making a jumper. Philadelphia went 2-1 vs. Cleveland wins any tiebreaker for playoff seeding. Caris LeVert scored 24 points and Donovan Mitchell added 21 for the Cavs, who were playing the second night of a back-to-back. Cleveland was without center Jarrett Allen, who missed his third straight game with a bruised right eye.

Bickerstaff wasn’t satisfied with the explanation he received from officiating crew of John Goble, Nick Bucher and Derek Richardson. “They said there wasn’t enough contact to be a charge,” said Bickerstaff. “I mean, there’s a 300-pound man who bowls through your chest, it’s a charge. It’s that simple.”
