Game 6: Orlando Magic 114 Philadelphia 76ers 89Analysis: I have to admit that without Dwight Howard and Courtney Lee, I thought the Magic had no chance of beating the 76ers on the road in this game. However, it seems like the 76ers thought they could take a night off on defense just because Dwight Howard had the night off as well. Either that or maybe this team was too focused on getting Dwight the ball when he was playing that it was taking away from their game? Definitely strange that the Magic would have their best offensive night without Dwight Howard. Either way the Magic have to be feeling good about getting to play the Boston-Chicago winner after the grueling series those two are going through right now.
Key Players of The Game
Rashard Lewis: Just about everyone on the Magic stepped up, but Lewis led the way with 29 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 blocks. They'll need more of that from him in round 2.
Marcin Gortat: He did a great job filling in for Dwight Howard and finished with 11 points, 15 rebounds, 2 assists, and 4 steals.
Rafer Alston: He also stepped up his game and finished with 21 points, 10 assists, and 3 steals. Probably his best game of the series.
Andre Miller/Andre Iguodala: The two Andre's led the way for the 76ers once again, but in the end it wasn't enough. Nobody else other than Lou Williams really did much on offense and as I said above the defense was horrendous.
