Offsetting technical fouls

Jaylen Brown and Grayson Allen with a few words.

Tidjane swished in a corner 3 in front of the Sixers bench and immediately yapped back at whoever said he'd miss it lol

Tidjane Salaün with the baseline jam, then beats his chest about 20 times lol

End of 3rd Q: #Hornets 83, Sixers 77

Sion James just crossed over Labaron Philon Jr., took it into the lane and threw down a two-handed dunk that got the entire #Hornets bench off their feet.

Royce O'Neale in with the starters in place of Sion James to begin the second half.

Halftime: Sixers 57, #Hornets 54

Grayson Allen 19 pts, 2 rebs, blk
Brandon Miller 14 pts

Offense struggling just a tad now after that solid first quarter. #Hornets have scored only 7 points in the second. They're 1 for 10 overall and 1 for 8 from 3-point range.

#Hornets are +15 with Grayson Allen on the floor tonight. That actually dropped from +18 a minute ago.

Not a bad first quarter for the #Hornets. Grayson Allen was the first player off the bench and has 11 quick points to help Hornets grab a 37-27 edge heading into the second quarter.

Jaylen Brown is in the starting lineup.

Why is Charles Lee starting Sion James and what are his thoughts on Sion's struggles to hit the open shot?

Asked him about it:

No LeBron or Joel Embiid tonight. Nick Nurse said Jaylen Brown remains questionable but he's out here shooting during his pregame window.

This year Halloween fell on a weekend ...

Upon further review Brandon Miller's technical foul at the end of second quarter in Washington last night has been rescinded.

NEWS: Kon Knueppel has been assigned to the Greensboro Swarm. Comeback is in the works.

#Hornets retiring No. 1 means LaMelo will be the last player to ever wear the number. Asked Muggsy about it and the thought of no one else ever donning it again.

Muggsy: "The moment that I heard they were moving in a different direction from LaMelo, I was stunned. No one than I did, because I really enjoyed the kid."

Said he's fully on board with the vision of the #Hornets to get the franchise to be a winner long term.
