Nice start by the 76ers and what the hell got into KJ Martin, 5-5 for 12pts off the bench.

Solid first half for the Sixers, who held the Magic to 14 2nd quarter points en route to a 50 - 41 halftime lead.

Both teams with horrible shooting from 3pt range. If Maxey, George and McCain can heat up a little from the 3pt stripe, it could go a long way towards helping the Sixers pull this one out.

Not a good game for Maxey so far (2 - 8). He put up two bad shots that led to easy buckets for the Magic on the other end to cut the Philly lead to 2.

Sixers score only 21 pts in the 3rd, but manage to stretch their lead to 12 heading to the 4th.

Magic are shooting a dreadful 6 - 34 from 3pt range, which is helping the 76ers' cause immensely.

Sixers have been maintaining a lead but I have no idea what kind of offensive sets these are. It's just a series of screens, dribble handoffs, isos and 3pt shots. There is no structure or plan,.it just looks sloppy.

Magic started knocking down their treys in the 4th quarter, cutting the Philly lead to 4.

After missing two free throws, Yabu gets to the line again and drains both, giving the Sixers a 6pt lead with 27 seconds left.

Ugly game by both teams, Sixers prevail for their 6th. Not very pretty I gotta say. Not sure how it's possible the Magic could play worse than the Sixers. Eww, smelly.
