On April 13, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the 76ers played against the Magic at home. This is a sixth-place card battle in the East, this time the 76ers got into the groove early, established a lead in the first quarter, and then kept suppressing the Magic, who also fought back many times, but unfortunately failed. In the end, the 76ers defeated the Magic 125-113 to win seven in a row and rush to sixth place in the East.
After Embiid's comeback, the 76ers had a very hot momentum and couldn't stop it at all, directly winning a wave of 6 consecutive victories and seeing the opportunity to directly advance to the playoffs. This time against the Magic is a card battle, the 76ers are also going all out, come up to show a different attitude, occupy the initiative on the court, but the Magic side is also completely catching up, but after the 76ers regained the initiative and kept the lead, in the end the Magic also failed to withstand, and finally lost the game regrettably, watching the opponent overtake themselves and rush to the sixth place in the East.
The 76ers managed to take their fate into their own hands, and this seven-game winning streak was still very crucial, and Embiid's return got the team back on track. With the Pacers losing the game, the Magic, 76ers and Pacers are all 46-35 in the East, the Magic temporarily returned to fifth, the 76ers sixth, and the Pacers seventh.
I really didn't expect that the competition in the East has become so fierce, and as the 76ers rush forward, the Bucks, who are second in the East, are still a little happy, at least they don't have to worry about meeting this strong opponent in the first round. Facing the Magic this time, Embiid got 32 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists, and once he left the game with an injury, but fortunately, there was no big problem, once he was injured, the 76ers really had no prospects. Maxey also had 28 points this time, and Oubre had 21 points and nine rebounds.
It's a pity for the Magic, but fortunately, the Pacers gave them another chance, but they have to face the Bucks in the last round, but fortunately, the opponent Brother Alphabet is absent, as long as they win the game, they will get a direct playoff spot, and their fate is still in their own hands. This time, Banchero contributed 22 points, 15 rebounds and 7 assists, but unfortunately he didn't feel very good, and he was 7 of 24. Wagner Jr. scored 24 points and Suggs 20, and then it was up to them to take their chances.
