Orlando Magic to face Philadelphia 76ers in play-in tournament
PARK EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT WAYMO TAKING PARKING SPOTS WHILE WAITING FOR RIDERS. TONIGHT, THE CITY OF BROTHERLY LOVE IS A CITY OF A CRUCIAL SITE OF A CRUCIAL GAME FOR THE ORLANDO MAGIC. THAT’S RIGHT, THE MAGIC ARE IN THE PLAY IN TOURNAMENT AGAINST THE 76 ERS, AND IF THEY WIN, THEY ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS NOW. IF THEY LOSE THEY’LL GET ONE MORE CHANCE TO SAVE THEIR SEASON. DAREN STOLZFUS JOINS US IN STUDIO RIGHT NOW WITH THE PREVIEW. WE’RE HOPING THAT THEY’RE GOING TO GET THE W TONIGHT. WE’LL SEE. IT’S NOT AN ELIMINATION GAME TONIGHT IN PHILLY. SO THE MAGIC ARE PUTTING THEIR SEASON ON THE LINE. BUT A WIN DOES LOCK THEM INTO THE PLAYOFFS. THEY’D BE THE SEVEN SEED IN THE EAST. THEY SET THEIR PLAYOFF DESTINATION AS BOSTON. BUT A LOSS MEANS FRIDAY THEY’RE BACK HOME AGAINST THE CHARLOTTE HORNETS IN A GAME THAT WOULD BE WIN OR STAY HOME. THERE ARE MANY COULD AFFORD OR SHOULD HAVE MOMENTS FOR THE MAGIC THIS SEASON.

YOU’RE SITTING AT HOME WAITING TO GO TO CLEVELAND FOR THE OPENING ROUND OF THE PLAYOFFS. THAT’S ANCIENT HISTORY. NONE OF IT MATTERS TONIGHT. IT’S A CHANCE TO HIT THE RESET BUTTON AND START FRESH AGAIN, SOMETHING THIS TEAM IS EAGER TO DO. WHEN I GO HOME, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED BEFORE IS IRRELEVANT. YOU KNOW, WE’RE IN THE POSITION WE’RE IN AND YOU KNOW, IT’S A BLESSING TO BE PLAYING POSTSEASON BASKETBALL. WE LOOK AT IT TONIGHT. IT’S A WHOLE NEW SEASON. DEFINITELY BEEN A PART OF THIS A LITTLE BIT. SEEING IT. I KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE. I KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE WHEN THE OTHER TEAM GOES ON RUN. SO IT’S DEFINITELY, DEFINITELY WILL HELP US GOING INTO THIS GAME TONIGHT FOR SURE. YEAH. A YEAR AGO THEY BEAT THE HAWKS AT HOME IN THIS GAME. SO THEY KNOW WHAT THEY’RE UP AGAINST. THE MAGIC THOUGH. HAVEN’T WON A POSTSEASON GAME IN SEVEN YEARS. THE SIXERS ARE WITHOUT JOEL EMBIID TONIGHT. PRETTY MUCH FULL STRENGTH. OTHER THAN THAT PHILLY WENT TWO AND ONE AGAINST THE MAGIC THIS SEASON. BUT THE GAME THAT ORLANDO DID WIN IT WAS ON THE ROAD IN EMPHATIC FASHION BY 41 POINTS, THEIR BIGGEST WIN IN MORE THAN 15 YEARS. SO THERE’
