Can the 76ers Break the Magic’s Slump and Secure a Crucial Win?
Day 2 of the NBA Playoff Play-In Games has us staring down a curious conundrum: can the Magic finally find their groove against the injury-plagued yet talent-laden 76ers? The name “Play-In Games” might be a bit of a mouthful, and sure baseball’s attempts at wildcard drama stumbled, but the NBA’s tweak has actually added some spice — even if it feels like a mini-series masquerading as a sudden-death showdown.
