N.B.A. Roundup: Magic Hand First Loss to Raptors

Tobias Harris had 20 points, including what turned out to be the decisive free throw, and the Orlando Magic handed the visiting Toronto Raptors their first loss of the season, 92-87, on Friday night.

Victor Oladipo added 18 points, and C. J. Watson had 12 as the Magic ended an 11-game losing streak to the Raptors.

Trailing by 88-86 after Harris’s free throw, Toronto had a chance to take the lead, but Jonas Valanciunas was forced to put up an awkward runner that rolled off the rim and was rebounded by Orlando.

The loss ended what had been a franchise-best 5-0 start for Toronto.
