Tyrese Maxey spearheaded the Philadelphia 76ers' offense, tallying 31 points and six assists to lead his team to victory. His stellar performance effectively compensated for the absence of the injured Joel Embiid.

For the Orlando Magic, Desmond Bane delivered a standout performance with 34 points, though it ultimately wasn't enough to secure a win.

Alongside Maxey, Edgecombe and Kelly Oubre Jr. also logged over 40 minutes on the court, a workload unmatched by any player on the visiting team. Coach Nick Nurse utilized a tight eight-man rotation, and his strategy paid off.

Bane lacked significant support, with Paolo Banchero being the next highest scorer for Orlando with a modest 18 points.

This triumph secured Philadelphia's spot in the NBA Playoffs, where they are set to face the Boston Celtics.

Meanwhile, the defeated Orlando Magic will have another opportunity to clinch a playoff berth, with their next opponent being the Charlotte Hornets.
