The Toronto Raptors thought they could just stroll to Orlando and get a win easily. Franz Wagner and the Orlando Magic showed the Raptors that if they don’t show up, they’ll take a loss, even to a tanking team, and the Magic did just that, handing the Raptors a 113-109 loss.
It was an embarrassing effort to start the first and third quarters. A team that prides itself in effort, hustle, and defense allowed Franz Wagner to just slice and dice to the basket. Wagner dropped 32 points through three quarters, finishing with 34 points and five rebounds for the night, including a clutch putback late in the game to give the Magic the lead for good.
