For those clamoring for the Magic to get the seventh seed, we just got another sneak peak of what that would be like.
The Raptors are not an easy team to score against, something the Magic have learned all too well in recent history. Orlando’s first half performance against the second-seeded Raptors in Wednesday night’s 109-99 loss was just the latest example of that.
The Magic struggled to find any early offensive rhythm against an aggressive Raptors defense that doesn’t allow anything easy. Orlando shot a dismal 30 percent in the opening half, making just 2 of 16 three-point attempts, en route to scoring 35 points, a season-low for a half.
