Gardner's 124 diffuses Hurricanes as Sixers script stunning comeback win

Sixers captain rescued her side from 6 for 3 and took them to 196, before also bagging three wickets

Tyrese Maxey scored 38 points to lead the Philadelphia 76ers to a 109-104 victory over the Charlotte Hornets in an NBA game on Saturday, despite LeBron James and Joel Embiid resting with injuries. Maxey scored 15 points in the fourth quarter, leading the Sixers to rally from a 13-point deficit and secure their fourth comeback win of the season.

Anfernee Simons added 19 points off the bench and Jaylen Brown contributed 16 points for Philadelphia. The Hornets, led by reserve Grayson Allen with 27 points, fell to 3-4. James and Embiid rested after a win over New York on Friday due to injury management, with James dealing with lower back sciatica and Embiid with a sore right foot.

Maxey's performance ensured another clutch victory for the Sixers, who maintain a 6-1 record this season.
