ORLANDO, Fla. Cam Talbot Jersey . - The limited success the Philadelphia 76ers have experienced this season has all been on the road.That continues to be the case.Michael Carter-Williams scored 21 points as the Sixers opened a seven-game road trip with a 96-88 victory over the Orlando Magic on Sunday night.The win ended a five-game losing streak. All three of their victories this season have come away from home.Its always great to win, but when you dont win that much, its even better, Carter-Williams said. Im not sure what it is. When were struggling on the road, its a little easier for us to come back together because everyone is against us. All we have is each other.Philadelphia trailed by 11 in the third quarter, but led by as many as 14 points in the fourth.The Sixers also got a lift from their bench, which outscored the Magic reserves 37-20.Victor Oladipo had 23 points for the Magic. Nik Vucevic finished with 19 points and 17 rebounds, and Tobias Harris added 17 points.The Magic have lost four straight and six of their last seven.Orlando looked to be in control as it inched out to its double-digit lead. But the Sixers closed the third quarter on a 22-7 spurt, and took a four-point lead into the final period.Philadelphia kept that momentum going, scoring seven straight to open the fourth.Orlando tried to stage its own late rally, but was thwarted by late turnovers.Magic coach Jacque Vaughn tinkered with his starting lineup Sunday, inserting rookie Elfrid Payton at point guard and Kyle OQuinn at power forward.The move meant Oladipo shifted over to shooting guard, marking the first time he and Payton had started together in Orlandos backcourt this season. It also meant that off-season acquisitions Channing Frye and Evan Fournier — who entered the night averaging 14 points per game — were sent to the bench to anchor the second unit.Results were mixed, but there was briefly a tangible effect on the defensive end for Orlando.OQuinn was the most active early, blocking three shots in the first half and being generally disruptive to the Sixers in the halfcourt with a handful of deflections.Vucevic said its all a work in progress.I think defensively, its not really about a lineup, Vucevic said. Its about us talking, being vocal, and following the game plan we have.Philadelphia was held to just 5 of 19 from the field in second quarter and shot only 42 per cent for the night.It turned out to be enough, with all nine of the Sixers available players scoring at least five points.There was a brief verbal spat at one point during a timeout between Carter-Williams and Nerlens Noel, but coach Brett Brown said he liked how they were able to work it out among themselves.Its teammates talking to teammates. Its real, Brown said. It proved to be a real healthy conversation so I let it go ... Its not like they just met each other and have issues. Its healthy issues, its real, thats what families go through. It aint always pretty. They talked it through and off we go.___TIP-INSMagic: The starting lineup Sunday was Orlandos eighth different one of the season. ... Vucevic recorded his 16th double-double of the season.76ers: G JaKarr Sampson started in place of Hollis Thompson, who was out with an illness. Reserve F Furken Aldemir sat out for the second straight game with plantar fasciitis in his right foot.UP NEXTMagic: Host Boston on Tuesday76ers: At Miami on Tuesday.___Follow Kyle Hightower on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/khightower ;Yohann Auvitu Jersey .

LONDON -- Jermain Defoe retained his place in the England squad for the friendly against Denmark despite his impending move to Canada, but playing in Major League Soccer might harm his chances of making the World Cup. Defoe, who has 19 goals in 55 England games, has appeared in only two Tottenham games in two months as he prepares to head to Toronto FC for the start of MLS next month. "You cant deny of course that playing for Toronto cant be put on a par with playing in the Premier League -- nobody would expect me to say that," England coach Roy Hodgson said on Thursday. "And all these factors will be taken into consideration when we make a (squad) decision." But Hodgson stressed that playing for Toronto "wont necessarily count against" the striker if his goal-scoring touch also travels with him. "I would judge it on the player, what the player brings, what I think he will add to the squad, and there will be an element of his form and how hes playing at the moment," Hodgson said. Defoe was included in the 30-man squad for Wednesdays Denmark game at the expense of Andy Carroll, who made five appearances for West Ham since returning from a foot injury in January before being suspended for a red card. "Carroll has hardly played but we will be keeping an eye on him," Hodgson said. Also, Southampton defender Luke Shaw was called up for the first time ahead of the World Cup. The 18-year-old Shaw has a chance to stake his claim for a place in the World Cup squad in the last friendly before Hodgsoon names his players in May. Leon Draisaitl Jersey. "Anyone who has watched him play recently will not deny he deserves a place in a large squad like this," Hodgson said. "He has played extremely well and is a very exciting talent." Shaw, one of four Southampton players in the squad, will be competing for a place at left back with veteran Ashley Cole and Leighton Baines. After the Denmark game, England has three friendlies before the World Cup -- against Peru at Wembley on May 30 before heading to Miami to play Ecuador and Honduras. At the World Cup, England plays Italy, Uruguay and Costa Rica in Group D. ------ England: Goalkeepers: Fraser Forster (Celtic), Joe Hart (Manchester City), John Ruddy (Norwich), Ben Foster (West Bromwich Albion) Defenders: Leighton Baines (Everton), Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Ashley Cole (Chelsea), Glen Johnson (Liverpool), Steven Caulker (Cardiff), Chris Smalling (Manchester United), Luke Shaw (Southampton), Kyle Walker (Tottenham) Midfielders: Ross Barkley (Everton), Michael Carrick (Manchester United), Tom Cleverley (Manchester United), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), Adam Lallana (Southampton), Frank Lampard (Chelsea), James Milner (Manchester City), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Arsenal), Raheem Sterling (Liverpool), Andros Townsend (Tottenham), Jack Wilshere (Arsenal) Strikers: Jermain Defoe (Toronto FC), Rickie Lambert (Southampton), Jay Rodriguez (Southampton), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool), Danny Welbeck (Manchester United) Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys AuthenticWholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
