McCain shines as a starter again but Sixers lose heartbreaker to Magic

Well, Jared McCain is out of his slump, at least there’s that.

The Sixers fell just short of the Orlando Magic Wednesday night, falling 106-102 right at the wire.

Jared McCain led the Sixers with 24 points and seven rebounds, shooting 10-of-17 from the field and 3-of-6 from three. Tyrese Maxey struggled again, finishing with 16 points on 7-of-19 shooting and 0-of-7 from beyond the arc. Like recent games, he hit some big layups down the stretch but unlike recent games, he was unable to draw a foul or make his final three-point shot to send the game to overtime.
