VanVleet, Barnes lead way as Raptors beat Magic 110-109
On Friday night the Magic began the front-end of a back-to-back against Toronto’s Dinosaur’s and after a hard-fought game that saw all five members of the Magic starting five post double figures, but despite a scoring drought by the Raptors over the game’s final two minutes and four seconds was unfortunately just too much to overcome, as the Magic fell 110-109 Friday night in Toronto. For the Raps, the win meant the club won back-to-back games for the first time this season
Trailing by as many as twelve with 2:04 seconds remaining after Fred VanVleet drilled a three-pointer, marking one of his 16 points in the game’s final frame, and the Magic responded with an 11-0 run to close the game. Jalen Suggs added six points over the game’s final 2 minutes to help close the gap and fellow rookie lottery pick Franz Wagner added a late three to close the game to within one, but with .2 seconds left on the clock a driving jump shot by Cole Anthony refused to fall and with it the Magic fell to just 1-5 on the young NBA season, and 1-3 away from their home gym.
For Suggs, Friday night marked his best output of the season. After slugging through their first five games, Suggs connected on 4 of his 8 three-pointers, en route to a 21 point game. Not to be outdone, 2nd-year man Cole Anthony led all Magic scorers, as the North Carolina product poured in 24. Anthony is averaging 17 points per game so far this season.
For the Magic, a theme early on this season has been their inability to play four quarters. That was not the case Friday night as for much of the evening they exchanged blows with Toronto’s roster.
For the Raps, rookie Scottie Barnes was sensational. The Florida State product led all Dinos with 21 points, including shooting 9-14 from the floor, and had one of the game’s more impressive plays, needing just three dribbles to go coast to coast against the Magic.
For Orlando, Friday marked a missed opportunity, but the one great thing about living in the NBA is there is always another opportunity right around the bend. Up next, a Saturday night tilt against Cade Cunningham and the Detroit Pistons, a squad that is still in search of their first win of the campaign. Game time is set for 7 pm
