Orlando Magic's Record Three-Point Shooting Sinks Toronto Raptors

The Magic, despite having the NBA's worst three-point percentage, hit a season-high 19 threes to defeat the Raptors 106-97.

  • The Orlando Magic tied a franchise record with nine three-pointers in the first quarter and set a season-high with 19 total threes in the game.
  • Toronto's defensive lapses, particularly in closing out on shooters, allowed Orlando to dominate from beyond the arc, shooting 43.2% on three-pointers.
  • Tristan da Silva led the Magic with a career-high 25 points, including five three-pointers, while Goga Bitadze added a double-double with 11 points and 13 rebounds.
  • The Magic overcame the loss of guard Jalen Suggs, who exited in the second quarter with back spasms and was later ruled out for the game.
  • Toronto, now 8-27, struggled offensively despite Jakob Poeltl's 25 points, as they prepare to face the Milwaukee Bucks, the league's second-best three-point shooting team, on Monday.
