The Magic rallied and took the lead from late in the first half. Dwight Howard dunked to make it a 46-44 game for Orlando.
Rashard Lewis' lay-up gave Orlando a 10 point lead and excited the fans, including a certain Tiger Woods.
But the 76ers then cut a 14-point deficit to start the fourth quarter down to two points with five minutes left. Andre Miller found Lou Williams for an alley-oop dunk to make it 88-86.
The 76ers then tied the game, but Iguodala took on Hedo Turkoglu one on one and got himself a jumper from the key that dropped in to put the 76ers ahead 100-98, before Orlando called a time out.
The Magic had one last chance to turn it over - but Turkoglu's three-point try over two defenders disappointed them as the final buzzer sounded.
