The Toronto Raptors sat back and watched guard Fred VanVleet provide fans with one of the best individual performances in the 2020-21 NBA season, as he lit the Orlando Magic on fire by scoring 54 points and making 11 three-pointers. VanVleet completely took the game over on a night that will go down in Raptors history as perhaps their greatest offensive performance ever.
More importantly for Nick Nurse and the Raptors, the 123-108 win pushed them to 9-12 on the season, reigniting hope that the Raptors can shake off their 2-8 start and make it to the postseason.
