CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Philadelphia 76ers were determined not to get caught up in a trap game.

 

With important games against divisional foes New York and Boston looming later this week, it would have been easy for the first-place 76ers to overlook the NBA-worst Charlotte Bobcats.

 

But that didn't happen.

 

Jrue Holiday had 20 points and six assists as the 76ers defeated the Bobcats 105-80 on Monday night to sweep the three-game season series between the teams.

 

Holiday, coming off a career-high 30 points in Saturday's night loss at Chicago, was 8-of-13 shooting from the field and made all four shots from the free-throw line.

 

The 76ers broke open a tight game at halftime behind a stingy third-quarter defense, outscoring the Bobcats 31-19 to pull away.

 

The Bobcats shot just 29 percent from the field in the second half against a 76ers team that came in with the NBA's best defense, holding opponents to an average of 87.8 points per game and 41.8 percent shooting from the field.
