Sixers have more in common with 08-09 Magic than they think
BOX SCORE The 2008-09 Eastern Conference champion Orlando Magic had a dominant big man, a 6-foot-10 forward who shared ball-handling duties and a three-point assassin acquired in free agency.

Instant Replay: Sixers 112, Magic 111
BOX SCORE ORLANDO, Fla. — In a game in which the last five minutes took almost as long as the first 43, the 76ers had just enough time — and help from the officiating crew — to pull out a 112-11 win over the Orlando Magic.
