Dean Wade took five shots on Saturday night and made two. He still had as much to do with Philadelphia's comeback as anyone not named Tyrese Maxey, because his 10 assists kept a short-handed offense moving while Charlotte kept giving the ball away.

The Philadelphia 76ers beat the Charlotte Hornets 109-104 at Spectrum Center to go to 6-1. Charlotte is 3-4. Philadelphia sat LeBron James and Joel Embiid on the second night of a back-to-back, per NBC Sports Philadelphia, and trailed 37-27 after one quarter.

Charlotte Shot 50 Percent and Lost

The Hornets made half their shots. Grayson Allen went 9 of 12 for 27 points, 7 of 10 from three, and Brandon Miller scored 24.
