The Orlando Magic were able to finally get the proverbial "monkey off their back" that was a 10-game road losing streak with a win over the Sixers in Philadelphia on Tuesday. The Magic were led by Tobias Harris and Arron Afflalo, who scored 16 points a piece, in the 98-84 rout of Philadelphia.
The Magic won for the seventh time on the road this season, while also snapping a five-game overall losing streak. Orlando currently sits at 16-41 overall, ranking 14th in the Eastern conference standings.
Philadelphia has also been a disappointment this season, falling to 22-33 overall and sitting at 10th in the East. With Tuesday's loss, the Sixers face a six-game losing streak, their longest in three seasons.
Both teams are feeling the effects of the Dwight Howard trade from this past summer. Orlando is looking to replace the face of their franchise with a roster full of young players. Philadelphia is still waiting to finally get some value out of Andrew Bynum, who has yet to play a minute for the Sixers in his final season under contract.
