The game started off rocky. After the Sixers took an early 8-0 lead, the Magic quickly responded. After one quarter, the Magic playing the role of the underdogs, caught up only trailing by 3 points. Then, Doc Rivers utilized his bench and that seem to give them the momentum they needed, allowing the Sixers to push ahead with the lead.
