ORLANDO–The Philadelphia 76ers head into Central Florida to take on the Orlando Magic looking to bounce back following a tough loss before Thanksgiving to the Charlotte Hornets. Once again, the Sixers were down three starters and a key bench piece and they needed somebody to step up and provide a way.
Enter Shake Milton who stepped up against a long and tall Magic squad and pumped in 24 points with 10 assists and nine rebounds in a 107-99 win over the Magic. The Sixers had a tough time against the Orlando big men, but thanks to Milton, they were able to overcome all of that.
After such a big performance, the Sixers heaped praise upon the veteran out of SMU.
