After Action Report
In Orlando, the 76ers held off the Magic 86-78. The 76ers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The 76ers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; 76ers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 76ers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
