Magic push around the listless Sixers

It was just another night in 76ersville.

The 76ers showed promise while Joel Embiid was on the floor. Then they struggled when he wasn't. And on Friday night, that led to a 105-88 drubbing by the Orlando Magic at the Wells Fargo Center.

The loss dropped the Sixers to 4-15 heading into Saturday night's home matchup against the Boston Celtics. They will look to snap a five-game losing streak.

The Magic (8-12) are 2-0 in this season's head-to-head meetings with the Sixers.

Aaron Gordon paced the Magic 20 points on 9-for-14 shooting despite sitting out the fourth quarter.
