The Lead
The NBA is in good hands with the plethora of young talent blossoming before our very eyes. A few of them were in action Friday night in Toronto, including the entire Orlando Magic starting five. Each shined and made big plays throughout the night. In the end, despite a valiant comeback attempt, it was the Raptors’ most proven player, Fred VanVleet, who willed his team to a 110-109 victory by scoring 16 of his 19 points in the final seven minutes.
Key Stretch
After a pair of Jalen Suggs free throws put the Magic up three early in the fourth quarter, the Raptors responded with an 11-0 run.
