Lee Nailon scored a career-high 27 points as the Charlotte Hornets beat the Philadelphia 76ers 94-85 last night to snap a two-game losing streak.

Baron Davis added 19 points, P.J. Brown had 15 points and 13 rebounds, Elden Campbell had 12 points and 10 rebounds and David Wesley also had 12 points for the Hornets.

Allen Iverson led Philadelphia with 38 points on 13-of-30 shooting. Aaron McKie had 17 points and Derrick Coleman and Dikembe Mutombo both grabbed 12 rebounds for the 76ers, who had a two-game winning streak snapped and have lost eight of their last 10.

A jumper by Wesley as the shot clock buzzer sounded gave the Hornets a 90-84 lead with 1:09 left in the game. On the ensuing possession by Philadelphia, Campbell blocked a runner floater by Iverson, leading to layup by Nailon to put the game away.

After a fast-break dunk by Nailon gave Charlotte a 79-68 lead early in the fourth quarter, the 76ers scored 10 straight, including eight by Iverson to close to 79-78 with 7:21 left.
