Sixers win biggest game of the season vs. Magic, still have a chance to avoid the Play-In

That might be seven in a row, but they still do not control their own destiny.

The Sixers knocked off the Orlando Magic 125-113 Friday night, picking up one of their most important wins all season.

Joel Embiid overcame another injury scare to drop 32 points, shooting 10-of-23, along with 13 rebounds and seven assists.

Tyrese Maxey had a big fourth quarter, finishing with 28 points on 10-of-19 shooting, while Kelly Oubre Jr. went for 21 points.

Tonight’s win moves the Sixers ahead of the Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference standings. Assuming they win on Sunday, they can move out of the Play-In Tournament, provided the Indiana Pacers win out or lose out.
