Raptors Overcome 21-Point Deficit to Defeat Short-Handed Magic 109-93

Toronto's bench powers a dramatic comeback as injury-depleted Orlando suffers its fourth consecutive loss.

  • The Toronto Raptors, led by strong bench performances from Bruce Brown and Kelly Olynyk, erased a 21-point first-quarter deficit to secure their biggest comeback of the season.
  • Orlando Magic, missing several key players including Franz Wagner, Jalen Suggs, and Moe Wagner, struggled with just eight available players for most of the game.
  • Paolo Banchero recorded a double-double with 26 points and 12 rebounds for the Magic, but turnovers and fatigue hindered their efforts to maintain an early lead.
  • Toronto's third-quarter surge, featuring 40 points, turned a five-point halftime deficit into a commanding 15-point lead by the end of the period.
  • The Magic remain optimistic about their playoff push as injured players, including Franz Wagner, are expected to return soon, beginning with their next home game against the Trail Blazers.
