Sixers escape with 96-94 win
Thaddeus Young’s driving layup with two seconds left lifted Philadelphia to victory over Orlando, giving the 76ers a surprising 2-1 lead in their Eastern Conference first-round series.
Game 4 of the best-of-seven series is Sunday night at the Wachovia Center. The Sixers, who stumbled into the playoffs with six losses in their last seven games and a 41-41 record, are two wins away from their first playoff series victory since Allen Iverson led them to the NBA finals in 2001.
Dwight Howard had 34 points for the Magic, who won 59 games during the regular season.
