• The Sixers took control of this game during the second quarter, during which they outscored the Bobcats by 10 points.
• Charlotte would make up ground through the final two quarters, and tie the game at 92 late in the fourth quarter.

Final Thoughts

Earlier today there was a report that Nerlens Noel could be ready for game action after the All-Star break.

I only want Noel to play this year if he is truly 100%, and there is little risk involved for him to reinjure himself in any way.

When Noel does eventually join the rotation, it will be interesting to see what kind of shape the roster is in. Its possible that by that time, the team will have made some moves, potentially dealing away guys like Evan Turner, Thaddeus Young, or Spencer Hawes.
