The Sixers picked up a MASSIVE 118-114 comeback win over the Charlotte Hornets, which puts them a full two games up, with the tiebreaker in hand, over the Hornets in the race for a top-6 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Tyrese Maxey finished with 26 points, seven rebounds and eight assists in his first game back from injury, with Joel Embiid adding 29 points on 8-19 shooting. But Paul George was perhaps the most clutch player on the Sixers tonight, with 26 points, including the go-ahead corner 3 with a minute left, to go along with 13 rebounds and some clutch defensive plays down the stretch. VJ Edgecombe added in 13 points and 5-11 shooting as well.

Brandon Miller finished with 29 points for the Hornets, with LaMelo Ball adding 20 points and eight assists in a losing effort.
