It wasn’t pretty but the Sixers will take it as Paul George (21 points, nine assists) and KJ Martin (20 points) led the way in a win over the Magic Friday.

The Sixers, without Joel Embiid and Paul George, fought like hell against the Magic, but they couldn’t get over the hump in a loss Wednesday night.

Jared McCain is the only Sixer generating offense right now, but there’s no need to panic with the track record of the team’s star and the state of the East.

Jared McCain dropped 29 points but fouled out and Joel Embiid and Paul George still didn’t look in rhythm as the Sixers fell to the Magic Friday.
