Orlando Magic vs 76ers Match Player Stats: Play-In Tournament (April 15th, 2026)
One Night, One Shot — And Philly Made Every Second Count
The Orlando Magic vs 76ers match on April 15th, 2026 ended with Philadelphia firmly in control, 109–97 at Xfinity Mobile Arena. The 76ers were more efficient, more balanced, and frankly more dialed in when it mattered most. Tyrese Maxey dropped 31, VJ Edgecombe brought a two-way effort with 19 points and 11 boards, and Kelly Oubre Jr. went ice cold from three — in the best way possible.
The Magic didn’t go quietly. Desmond Bane’s 34-point explosion was the highlight of the night for either team, but Orlando’s overall shooting (40.7% from the field) just wasn’t enough to hold off a Philly squad playing with a playoff ticket on the line. The 76ers claimed East No. 7 and sent the Magic home.

How Both Teams Showed Up on Play-In Night
Philadelphia 76ers — Balanced, Focused, and Ready
Maxey ran the show with 31 points and 6 assists, never letting the Magic close the gap when they threatened. Right alongside him, in-depth NBA Play-In game stats and latest box score records show just how rare that kind of efficient point guard production is under this type of pressure — and Edgecombe’s 19-point, 11-rebound two-way night made Philly even harder to stop. Kelly Oubre Jr. knocked down 5-of-10 from deep for 19 points, and Paul George quietly put up 16 with 5 assists. The 76ers got contributions all the way down the rotation.
Orlando Magic — Bane Was Brilliant, But Couldn’t Carry It Alone
Bane shot 10-of-16, went 4-of-6 from three, and hit 10-of-11 free throws for 34 points — one of the better individual Play-In performances you’ll see. Paolo Banchero scored 18 but attempted 22 shots to get there, a volume efficiency problem the Magic couldn’t afford. Franz Wagner added 12, and Anthony Black was a bright 13-point spark off the bench. But after Bane and Banchero, the rest of the starting five combined for just 9 points — that simply won’t win a Play-In game.

Philly’s Bench Stepped Up When Called
Drummond’s 14-point, 10-rebound double-double off the pine was arguably the game’s most decisive subplot. Grimes and Barlow didn’t pile up numbers, but kept the rotation running without costing Philadelphia 76er any momentum at critical stretches.

Magic Reserves: Not Enough Volume When It Counted
Black’s 13 off the bench was a real lift, but Cain, da Silva, and Bitadze combined for just 11 points. Orlando needed more from their second unit as the deficit grew — and it simply never arrived. It’s something that’s come up before in other Orlando Magic games this season, where the bench hasn’t quite delivered when the pressure rises.

Philadelphia outshot Orlando from every zone and protected the paint with 9 blocks against just 4. The Magic did win the rebound battle 41–40 and dished out more assists, but those slight edges were completely wiped out by Philly’s three-point advantage — a 5-make, 5-point gap that swelled to roughly 15 extra points from deep alone.
