Thaddeus Young's three-point play cut the lead to 39-28 less than a minute into the second, but the Bobcats took advantage of poor shooting by the hosts to open up a 48-31 lead on D.J. Augustin's layup with under seven minutes remaining. Charlotte ended the half with an 18-point lead at 62-44.

"I have no problem with our effort," Sixers coach Eddie Jordan said. "We played hard for 48 minutes...We couldn't take away their strengths tonight. They got to the basket, got fouls and got to the free throw line.

Philly came out of the break and scored the first six points of the third, but Charlotte pulled away for good by scoring 15 of the next 17 points. Jackson and Wallace had back-to-back three-point plays to spark the surge, giving the visitors a 77-52 advantage with 4:11 remaining.
