CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Center Al Jefferson had his third double-double of the season with 26 points and 10 rebounds, and the Charlotte Hornets rolled to an easy 113-88 victory over the winless Philadelphia 76ers Friday night.

Jefferson scored 14 of his points in the first quarter as the Hornets jumped on the Sixers quickly and never trailed. He had 18 by halftime, then sat and watched much of the second half with the Hornets comfortably ahead.

Guard Kemba Walker added 20 points for the Hornets. Guard Nicolas Batum scored 14, guard Jeremy Lamb scored 13, and forward Marvin Williams had 11 points and nine rebounds.

The hapless Sixers (0-13) actually whittled the margin down to 11 once late in the third quarter.

Forward Nerlens Noel led the Sixers with 16 points and nine rebounds. The Sixers also got 15 points from guard Nik Stauskas, 12 points from forward Jerami Grant, and 10 points from center Jahlil Okafor.
