Hargrove went on fire for 46 points, as Philadelphia took an easy win handed to them by a sloppy performance by Charlotte. "You play like that, and you're going to get beaten," said Charlotte coach Bob after the game. "Doesn't matter who you're playing - we proved that today." Poor play all afternoon, especially in clutch situations, proved costly for Charlotte and negated a solid outing by Bailey.

Philadelphia was led by Hargrove (46 points, 5 boards, 0 assists), Alston (6 points, 5 boards, 15 assists, 5 steals), Rogers (6 points, 15 boards, 0 assists, 4 blocks). Charlotte was led by Bailey (8 points, 15 boards, 1 assists, a steal, a block), Meadows (10 points, 5 boards, 0 assists, 4 blocks), Lanham (20 points).

With today's victory, Philadelphia stand at 27-16 and 14-7 at home. They remain at #2 in the Atlantic and stay at #5 overall in the Eastern Conference. Charlotte snapped their winning streak at 8 games, and are now 30-14. They hold at #2 in the Southeast and remain at #4 overall in the Eastern Conference.
