Philadelphia 76ersOrlando Magic

On Wednesday night, the Philadelphia 76ers are back on the floor in South Philly to take on the Orlando Magic. Wednesday’s game marks the second time the Sixers will face the Magic this week.

For the first time this season, the Magic paid a visit to the Sixers on Monday night. As expected, the Sixers were heavily favored in the matchup. Earlier in the year, when the Sixers paid a visit to the Magic, Philadelphia missed several key players, including Tyrese Maxey, James Harden, and Joel Embiid.

Even without some of their key stars, the Sixers still found ways to defeat the Magic in two-straight games away from home. Therefore, a much healthier Philadelphia team seemed primed for a big win against Orlando on Wednesday.

At first, everything was going as planned for the Sixers. Within the first half, Philadelphia led by as many as 21 points. At halftime, they maintained a double-digit lead. Although the Sixers were up big in the first half, they fell apart in the final two quarters.

Eventually, a once 21-point lead turned into a ten-point deficit. And suddenly, the Sixers saw their seven-game win streak snap as the Magic collected their 20th win of the year in South Philly. Now, the two teams will meet and battle it out for the fourth and final time this season.
