Paul George recorded 21 points and 9 assists in the 76ers’ 102-94 win over the Magic

Paul George tallied 21 points and nine assists in his second game since suffering a bone bruise in his left knee, leading the Philadelphia 76ers to a 102-94 win over the Orlando Magic on Friday night.

KJ Martin contributed 20 points, helping the 76ers improve to 6-15 and marking their first three wins in four games this season.

Franz Wagner led Orlando with 30 points, and Jalen Suggs added 22. The Magic fell to 16-9.

Magic: To be considered a serious contender in the Eastern Conference, Orlando must improve its three-point shooting, which ranked last in the NBA at 31.2%.

76ers: Joel Embiid may return soon from his chronic knee swelling, having only played four games this season.

After the Magic trimmed a 17-point deficit to seven early in the fourth quarter, Philadelphia responded by forcing two turnovers. George and Martin capitalized, extending the lead to 13.

Orlando struggled in the second quarter, shooting 4 of 21 from the field and going 0 for 13 from beyond the arc, turning a two-point advantage into a nine-point deficit.

The Magic will host Phoenix on Sunday, while the 76ers travel to Chicago the same day.
