10 things: Norman Powell wills sluggish Raptors to victory over Magic

Here are 10 takeaways from the Toronto Raptors’ 90-83 win over the Orlando Magic.

One — Sluggish: A win is a win, but this bordered on unwatchable. The Raptors hit just 29 per cent from deep and just 60 per cent from the foul line, despite ranking first and fifth in those categories on the season. The Raptors were far from clinical on offence, but it was almost comical how badly they misfired on the most wide open of looks.

Two — Hero: The only Raptor who had it going was Norman Powell, who parlayed a 19-point third quarter in which he single-handedly outscored the Magic into a career-high 33 points.
