The Raptors rallied from a slow start to secure a solid win against the Magic, showcasing strong performances from Barrett and Barnes.
The Raptors really turned it up in the third quarter, scoring 40 points and flipping the game on its head. Gradey Dick also stepped up, contributing 17 points, including a solid 10-point third quarter.
On the other side, the Magic struggled with injuries, missing key players like Franz Wagner and Jalen Suggs. Paolo Banchero led Orlando with 26 points, but it wasn’t enough to keep up with the Raptors’ surge.
Despite trailing at halftime, the Raptors kept pushing. Barrett’s three-pointer brought them closer, and they took control in the second half. It was a great team effort, especially with Kelly Olynyk and Bruce Brown Jr. making significant contributions off the bench.
The Raptors are now looking to build on this momentum as they head into their next game against the Atlanta Hawks. It’s always nice to see them bounce back and play strong, especially at home!
