PHILADELPHIA (AP) Orlando coach Scott Skiles called it a must-win game, and the Magic found a way.
A nice scoring night was barely better than a shoddy defensive performance.
Vucevic scored a season-high 35 points against his former team, leading the Magic to a 124-115 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday.
Vucevic, drafted 16th overall by the 76ers in 2011, also had nine rebounds and four assists, helping Orlando bounce back from a 105-102 home loss to Indiana. The Magic have won four of six while trying to gain ground in pursuit of their first playoff berth in four years.
“I wanted to come out and lead the way so they can follow me,” said Vucevic, who was 13 for 21 from the field and 9 for 9 at the line.
Victor Oladipo added 22 points and Evan Fournier scored 21 for the Magic, who return home on Thursday to host the NBA-best Golden State Warriors. Aaron Gordon contributed a double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds.
“Golden State will score 300 on us if we play like that,” Skiles said. “Of course, we’re glad to get a win. But even finishing out the game, just throwing the ball all around and stuff, it’s hard to feel good about it.”
Ish Smith scored 22 points and Jahlil Okafor had 17 for the NBA-worst 76ers, who dropped to 8-48 with their fifth straight loss and 10th in the last 12. Okafor was coming off a career-best 31-point outing in Philadelphia’s 129-103 loss at Dallas on Sunday. Nerlens Noel added 16 points and 11 rebounds.
The 76ers have allowed an average of 122 points in their last four losses.
“The energy’s not where we need it to be,” Philadelphia coach Brett Brown said. “That starting group’s got to get going, really. We need better defense from that starting group.”
Vucevic played his rookie season for Philadelphia before being dealt over the summer to the Magic, who continue to reap the benefits. But Orlando didn’t need his scoring during a pivotal 11-2 run to open the fourth quarter, capped by Jason Smith’s jumper that made it 108-95 with 8:36 remaining. Smith, another former 76er, had six points during the Magic’s spurt, which proved too much for Philadelphia to overcome.
“We came out really aggressive, but our defense didn’t keep up with our offense,” Vucevic said. “In the fourth quarter, we were able to turn up our defense and get a few stops.”
The 76ers looked good in the third quarter when they erased a five-point halftime deficit by hitting 12 of their first 15 shots and had their largest lead at 83-77 on Noel’s alley-oop dunk. But Orlando outscored Philadelphia 20-10 over the final 6:28 of the third to enter the fourth quarter up 97-93.

Four regular-season weeks to go, and the top of the AFC playoff standings have come to be neck in neck.
Two weeks ago, it seemed apparent that the AFC belonged to the New England Patriots, and that everyone else was simply trying their best for second place. Yet, the Patriots didn’t do so hot against the Philadelphia Eagles, making things get quite interesting in the process. Up and coming are the Pittsburgh Steelers.
They were spectacular Sunday night in a 45-10 obliteration of the Indianapolis Colts. They were forget-the-record good, outgaining the Colts 522 yards to 240 in a display that reminded everyone that the Steelers are ready to do anything to win.

In one article in BlackPressUSA, E. Faye Williams, the president and chief executive of the National Congress of Black Women, suggested Mr. Cosby was being unfairly judged in a country where President Trump has apologized for saying
that his celebrity put him in a position to grab women in their genital area, a comment he later described as “locker room talk.”
“If the president of the United States can go on working in the White House after he has bragged about doing gross, sexually explicit and abusive things to women, without their permission, then justice requires
that Bill Cosby should not be punished, unless he is convicted of crimes,” Ms. Williams said.
An Effort to Change Cosby ‘Optics’ as Trial Nears –

Six weeks ahead of Bill Cosby’s trial on sexual assault charges, one of his lawyers, Angela Agrusa, said in an interview released Wednesday
that one focus of her defense will be to change the “optics” for a defendant who she said many people have already decided is guilty of abusing women.
That strategy seemed apparent when one of Mr. Cosby’s daughters released a statement defending her father
and Mr. Cosby himself gave a rare interview for an article that led with a depiction of his blindness.
And Ms. Agrusa in a separate interview made clear that she hoped to change public opinion as part of her defense of Mr. Cosby, who faces charges
that he drugged and assaulted a Temple University staff member in his home north of Philadelphia in 2004.
Mr. Wyatt said that Evin Cosby, the youngest of his children, had decided on her own to come forward with a statement
that was sent to four media outlets — The Hollywood Reporter, BlackPressUSA, CNN and ABC News — that he said Ms. Cosby had selected.
