Quarter breakdowns showed Philadelphia winning the fourth quarter 39-25 to complete the comeback.

The January 26 blowout saw the Hornets post 130 points, with quarter scores of 28, 41, 40, and 21. The 76ers managed only 93 points, including a disastrous third quarter of just 15 points (ESPN Game Page).

Hornets vs 76ers Stats

Looking beyond single games, the broader statistical picture reveals patterns in how these teams perform against each other across different venues.

H2H records

Over the full regular season history, available records show the 76ers with 69 wins against 61 for the Hornets across 130 total games (Land of Basketball H2H Log). Since 2005, in 77 games, the 76ers reportedly won 50 times, averaging 103.3 points per game while allowing 100.0 points (AiScore H2H Data).

Game logs

The 2025-26 season game log shows alternating momentum. The Hornets built a 50-point lead against the 76ers on January 26, which marked the second time that month they achieved such a large margin (they previously led Utah by 57 points on January 10) (ESPN AU Recap). Yet Philadelphia answered with their own rally two months later.

The pattern across these games reveals a rivalry defined by volatility rather than dominance. The 76ers have the historical edge and the star power to close out tight games, as shown by their fourth-quarter rallies in October and March. The Hornets demonstrated they can blow out Philadelphia when everything goes right, but consistency remains their challenge.
