Sixers struggle; weather alters schedule

Philadelphia’s Tyrese Maxey was held to six points on 3-for-12 shooting in 25 minutes, a season low that dragged down the 76ers’ offensive rhythm. Kelly Oubre Jr. scored 17 to lead the Sixers, with Jared McCain adding 16 and Quentin Grimes 14, but the deficit was too large to threaten a comeback.

The game itself was moved up to a 3 p.m. start time because of extreme weather conditions in the Charlotte area tied to Winter Storm Fern. The schedule change did little to slow the Hornets, who continued a strong run of form by winning their third straight game. ([espn.in](https://www.espn.in/nba/recap/_/gameId/401810512))

The blowout also added a statistical footnote: Charlotte became the first team since 2009 to lead by 50 or more points in two separate games within the same calendar month, reflecting a recent pattern of high-variance results for the club. For the Sixers, the priority becomes finding consistency after a loss that quickly got out of hand. ([espn.in](https://www.espn.in/nba/recap/_/gameId/401810512))
