Shake Milton, Tobias Harris power 76ers to weekend sweep of the Orlando Magic
While the Philadelphia Eagles’ offense dismantled the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football, the 76ers were playing their second straight game of basketball in Orlando against the Magic.
The Sixers swept their weekend series against the Magic scoring a season-high 133 points in the 133-103 win last night.
Shake Milton was on fire yet again, just a game after falling one rebound short of a triple-double. Shake dropped 29 points on 10-for-13 shooting, adding seven assists and five rebounds to the stat sheet. Milton now has three straight games scoring at least 20 points, matching the longest streak of his career (Jan 7-16, 2021).

Joining Shake Mitlon in dominating the Magic over the weekend was Tobias Harris, who has stepped up time and time again in the absense of Embiid, Maxey, and Harden. Harris scored 25 points on 10-for-14 shooting, with five assists, five rebounds, and two steals.
As a team, The Sixers shot 50-for-57 from the field. It was the team’s best percentage in a game since December 19, 1986 and the seventh time EVER the team has shot so well.
Sure, the Magic sat six different players during last night’s game against the Sixers with injuries but when your own team is also battling injuries, that really cancels each team’s issues out. The Sixers were down five players in Joel Embiid, James Harden, Tyrese Maxey, Matisse Thybulle and Jaden Springer. P.J. Tucker exited with left ankle soreness.
