The Orlando Magic (25 - 30) defeated the Philadelphia 76ers (8 - 48) 124 - 115 on Tuesday. A contest between two sub - .500 teams turned into an explosive affair, with Nikola Vucevic leading the way against his former team. The Magic's big man posted a season - high 35 points, along with nine rebounds, four assists and a block, dominating a Sixers frontcourt that's one of the most permeable in the league. Philadelphia's penchant for handing the ball to the opposition persisted as well, with Orlando eliciting 22 turnovers from them, which was one of their undoings in the loss. The Sixers actually hung with Orlando until early in the final period, which they'd entered trailing only 97 - 93. However, Victor Oladipo spearheaded the visitors' attack by scoring 10 of his 22 points in the quarter, helping to seal the victory. Oladipo added four rebounds, four assists and three steals to his point total. Evan Fournier was right behind him with 21 points, four assists, three rebounds and two steals. Aaron Gordon managed his second straight double - double, totaling 11 points, 11 boards, three assists, three steals and a block. Ersan Ilyasova paced the Magic bench with 10 points and eight rebounds. Orlando remains in last place in the Eastern Conference's Southeast Division, and is currently four games behind the eighth - seeded Chicago Bulls. They head home for a showdown with the Golden State Warriors on Thursday. The Sixers were spearheaded by Ish Smith, who amassed 22 points, five assists and a rebound in a major bounce - back performance after a three - point outing against the Mavericks on Sunday. Jahlil Okafor supplied 17 points, two rebounds and a pair of blocks. Nerlens Noel registered a 16 - point, 11 - rebound double - double that also included four assists, two steals and a block. Robert Covington pitched in with 12 points, four rebounds, an assist and a steal. Hollis Thompson paced the Sixers bench with 14 points, three rebounds, two assists and a steal.
