The Orlando Magic defeated the Toronto Raptors, 102 - 94, at Amway Center on Friday. Despite heading into the contest without the services of DeMar DeRozan (ankle), the Raptors (30 - 21) were still the clear - cut favorites over the Magic (20 - 32), which had lost five of their last six games. However, defense is often a great equalizer, and such was the case Friday. Orlando managed to hold Toronto to sub - 40 - percent tallies from both the floor and three - point range, while also holding two members of their first unit, Patrick Patterson and DeMarre Carroll, scoreless. On the other end of the floor, the Magic benefited from a pair of double - doubles from Evan Fournier and Serge Ibaka that paced them on offense. The Raptors were led by a trio of 18 - point efforts from Jonas Valanciunas, Kyle Lowry and Norman Powell. Valanciunas added 11 rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block, Lowry also provided seven assists, five rebounds and one block, and Powell had a pair of boards, an assist and a steal. Fred VanVleet led the bench with 15 points, three rebounds, three assists and one steal, and Terrence Ross chipped in with 12 points, four rebounds, one assist and one block over 28 minutes as a reserve. Ibaka supplied a 20 - point, 12 - rebound double - double that also included one assist and three blocks. Fournier stepped up with 20 points, 10 rebounds and four assists. Nikola Vucevic was right behind his talented teammates with 18 points, five rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block. Elfrid Payton tallied 10 points, six assists, four rebounds and one steal. C.J. Watson, back on the bench with Fournier's recent return from injury, led the second unit with 18 points, four assists, three rebounds, two steals and one block. The Raptors remain on the road and head to the Big Apple to tangle with the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday afternoon, while the Magic tangle with the Hawks in Atlanta on Saturday night.
