However, the game almost ended with controversy. With the Sixers up 105-104, Jared McCain was set to step to the foul line with 16.3 seconds left in overtime after being fouled by the Hornets’ LaMelo Ball.

Down two of their stars for the majority of their games thus far, the Philadelphia 76ers have had to rely on their supporting cast in a big way. Thanks to a pair of unlikely heroes, they managed to secure just their second win of the season in an overtime thriller with the Charlotte Hornets.
