In the first quarter of the Philadelphia 76ers’ exhibition against the Orlando Magic, it seemed as if their prayers were answered.
Dominick Barlow effortlessly hauled in offensive rebounds and recorded put-back lay-ins. For a quarter, Philadelphia had its answer at power forward – one of several interesting developments from this preseason matchup.
The 76ers (0-3) fell to the Orlando Magic (2-0) 128-98 at Xfinity Mobile Arena on Friday night. In a contest that didn’t feature Joel Embiid, Paul George, Quentin Grimes, or VJ Edgecombe, Philadelphia saw various players take the opportunity in stride.
