Said to have one of the easier remaining schedules in the NBA, the Orlando Magic showed on Friday that every game, no matter the opponent, is a challenge.
After losing a perceived “easy” game to a Bulls team that entered with the league’s fourth worst record, the Magic had to travel north of the border to face the owners of the league’s second-best record: the Toronto Raptors.
Hours before game time, it was announced that one of the most challenging games remaining on the Magic schedule would become somewhat “easier” than expected. Kawhi Leonard would not be playing for rest purposes.
