Sixers host Magic aiming to keep improving

The Philadelphia 76ers will try to continue their strong play when they host the struggling Orlando Magic on Saturday night. The Sixers lost the opener of their season-long six-game homestand last Saturday to the Golden State Warriors, but followed that with routs of the Utah Jazz and Portland Trail Blazers, the latter a 101-81 victory on Wednesday. Overall, Philadelphia has won four of five to improve to 10-7, marked improvement from two seasons ago, when they finished 10-72.
