It began to slip away for the New Orleans Hornets after newly signed free-agent guard Jason Hart stole the ball from Philadelphia’s Elton Brand, leading to a layup by Julian Wright for a two-point lead early in the second quarter.
But any chance for a momentum swing ended after three minutes elapsed before New Orleans made its next shot. That was all the time Philadelphia needed to take control of the game and force the Hornets to fight back from a double-digit deficit for the fourth consecutive game.
The Hornets were unable to mount a comeback and lost 101-94 to the 76ers in front of 15,162 on Friday night at the New Orleans Arena
