When the Magic dropped back-to-back games at Kia Center on Friday and Saturday, their issues came on the offensive end of the floor.

Monday night at Philadelphia, Orlando scored 124 points, had three players score 22-plus and posted 62 points in the paint.

The offensive output, however, was all for naught when the Magic dropped their third game in a row to open a 5-game road trip. The Sixers, led by Tyrese Maxey’s 43 points, cruised to a 136-124 victory at Xfinity Mobile Arena on a night that saw Jamahl Mosley ‘s squad lack its usual defensive intensity.

Without All-NBA duo Joel Embiid (left knee injury management) and Paul George (left knee surgery recovery), Philly’s Maxey, No. 3 overall pick VJ Edgecombe (26) and Kelly Oubre Jr. (25) totaled 94 in their third straight win.
