Beasts In The East: Sixers 96, Magic 87

All the former Sixers in the world could not prevent the Sixers from toppling the Magic tonight in Orlando.

After five wins this season all against Western Conference opponents, the Sixers' sixth win was their first win of the season against an Eastern Conference foe, a 96-87 win against the Magic that was never in much doubt throughout the second half.

The Sixers started the game in incredibly ugly fashion against the Magic. The Sixers committed six turnovers in the first quarter and though the Magic were not able to fully capitalize and just completely pounce on the Sixers' ineptitude, they did jump out to a lead.
