The Toronto Raptors took to the Amway Center inadvertently looking to make history, and you wouldn’t know it by the way they played. Fortunately, despite falling behind to the Orlando Magic for stretches, the Raptors managed to put the game away in the fourth, winning 117-104.
The lowly Magic gave Toronto all they could handle for tonight as they pushed the top seed in the East to the brink, matching them shot for shot. The game started as most have for Toronto of late, with an inferior opponent hanging around before being delivered a combination of blows, leading to the basketball equivalent of a knockout.
