The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Orlando Magic, 112 - 111, Thursday at Amway Center. With two minutes remaining and the 76ers (19 - 34) down six points, the game was in serious doubt for Philadelphia. But, over the course of the next minute and a half, the 76ers hit five free throws before a Dario Saric layup put the team up by one point with just 35 seconds remaining. A short shot from Orlando's Nikola Vucevic put them back up two, but then T.J. McConnell ended up being the hero once again, hitting his second game - winning shot of the season as the 76ers ultimately walked away with the victory. Saric stepped up in a big way for Philadelphia on Thursday, scoring a game - high 24 points and grabbing eight rebounds in 28 minutes off the bench, while the hero McConnell did well getting his teammates involved, dishing out eight assists to go along with eight points and five rebounds, as the Sixers managed to end a five - game losing streak with the win. As for the Magic (20 - 35), Vucevic recorded yet another double - double, posting 21 points on 10 - of - 13 shooting and 11 rebounds in 31 minutes. Evan Fournier came close to a triple - double, scoring a team - high 24 points to go along with nine rebounds and eight assists. Fournier shot 3 - of - 6 from behind the arc, and his team for the most part followed, shooting 48 percent from long range. Where the game was ultimately lost, however, was the Magic's inability to take care of the basketball, as they recorded 21 total turnovers as a team. Up next, the 76ers will look to keep up their winning ways Saturday against the Heat, while the Magic will look to end their three - game losing streak Saturday against the Mavericks.
