(Newser) – With last night's third straight win, the Hornets' have matched their franchise best start, after defeating Philadelphia 95-76.

In other NBA action:

  • Seattle defeated Miami 104-95 to spoil Dwyane Wade's return, earning the first win for rookie phenom Kevin Durant
  • The Bucks survived against the Grizzlies, 102-99, Desmond Mason's jumper with seconds on the clock insuring Milwaukee remains undefeated at home
  • Rashad McCants' career high 33 points pushed Minnesota past Sacramento, 108-103, for their first win of the season.
