Philadelphia's Drew Gordon scored 16 points Saturday night, getting the better of younger brother Aaron as the 76ers held off the Orlando Magic 95-84.

The 6-foot-9 Drew Gordon, a 24-year-old undrafted free agent forward trying to earn a roster spot after playing two seasons overseas, was 6 of 9 from the field as the 76ers improved to 2-4. Younger brother Aaron, who is also 6-9 and five years younger, was the fourth pick in this year's draft out of Arizona. Aaron did not score for the Magic while playing a little over five minutes in the first half.

Andrew Nicholson scored 23 points to pace Orlando (4-2).

The Magic, which trailed by 26 points early in the third quarter, twice crept within eight in the closing minutes, but could get no closer.

Sixers point guard Michael Carter-Williams, last year's rookie of the year, has yet to play this preseason. He recently said he could be out as long as nine months after undergoing shoulder surgery in May.
