The Raptors show a ton of resilience in the 2nd game of a back-to-back with a comeback win. Raptors’ rebounding issues cropped up at the very start, Scottie couldn’t do it all alone. Mamu was the only bright spot of a bad 1st quarter. Mo Bamba made his Raptors debut and was great on defense, but he did not contribute enough to rebounding. Magic took a 20-point lead in the 2nd quarter. That combined with BAD Officiating (on both sides) made this game look like an inevitable crappy blowout. Instead, the Raptors defied the odds. The bench was essential in cutting the deficit. Mainly Grady Dick, CMB and especially Jamal Shead. They kept pace, but the Magic held them at an arm’s length until the 4th quarter when the Raptors went on a 12-0 run to take their first lead since the 1st quarter and closed it out with some clutch defense when the offense finally got cold. Great win and a good game overall. Only downside as a Raptors fan was Grady Dick losing the Black-Dick duel to Anthony Black.
