Charlotte Hornets vs Philadelphia 76ers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Oct 25, 2025

Charlotte arrived in Philadelphia riding a 19-point offensive advantage in recent play—averaging 136 points per game to the 76ers' 117—yet found itself on the wrong side of a one-possession result. The Hornets fell 125–121, their combined 246 points landing 4 points shy of the market total, in a matchup where early pace gave way to tighter fourth-quarter execution.

The game's shape was set in the opening frame, when both teams combined for 65 points, the highest-scoring quarter of the night. Philadelphia's 36-point first pushed them ahead early, but Charlotte clawed back through the second quarter as the combined scoring cratered to 54 points—a defensive shift neither offense could sustain. LaMelo Ball orchestrated the Hornets' comeback with 27 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists, while Collin Sexton added 21 points and 7 assists. Miles Bridges contributed 18 points and 9 rebounds as Charlotte tied things up by intermission at 119 combined.

The second half belonged to neither team decisively. A third-quarter surge saw 63 combined points—well below Q1's pace—before the fourth quarter tightened to 64 combined. Tyrese Maxey led Philadelphia with 28 points and 9 assists, while Quentin Grimes added 24 and Joel Embiid chipped in 20. Charlotte's depth kept it close, but Maxey's poise in the final period proved decisive. DAGGER leaned under, and it narrowly cashed.
