For the second time this season, the Toronto Raptors held a G.O.A.T. (Greatest of all Toronto) Night at Scotiabank Arena.
There is no scientific or analytical reason a team would perform because of the design on their jersey/court. However, the Raptors are undefeated when hosting a G.O.A.T. Night (ahem, 2-0) after defeating the visiting Orlando Magic, 109-93. Scottie Barnes neared a triple-double with 17 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists. Bruce Brown (15 points) and Kelly Olynyk (12 points) continued their strong play of late, helping Toronto’s bench outscored Orlando’s 41-11.
The Magic were led by Paolo Banchero who produced 26 points and 12 rebounds.
