The Sixers trailed for most of the game before finally getting within two points (105-103) at the 8:28 mark in the fourth quarter. However, Miami responded with a 13-2 burst to take a 13-point lead and never looked back.
Norman Powell led a quartet of double-digit scorers with 32 points and four rebounds on 11-for-18 shooting overall and 4-for-7 from 3. Jaime Jaquez Jr. led the second unit with 22 points and seven assists.
The Magic had won three straight and six of their previous seven contests before suffering a 138-129 loss to the Boston Celtics on Sunday.
Orlando trailed by 21 points entering the fourth quarter. And although they produced a 40-point effort in the final frame, it wasn't enough to prevent the Celtics from holding on for a nine-point victory.
Jett Howard, who comes off the bench, scored a team-high 30 points, along with seven rebounds and three assists. Desmond Bane contributed 18 points, five assists, and four rebounds.
Here's a look at what you need to know for both teams ahead of this contest.
In addition to the Sixers winning their last five home games against Orlando, they are also 16-4 in the previous 20 meetings in this series. With that said, the edge goes to the home team.
