The Toronto Raptors have prided themselves on their fourth-quarter defence all season and never before was it more evident — and more needed — than Tuesday in Orlando. Holding the Magic to without a field goal for more than seven minutes of the final quarter, the Raptors rallied for a 93-86 victory despite subpar play for the majority of the night. The Magic got only two free throws from Bismack Biyombo in the first seven minutes of the fourth quarter as Toronto took control. Nogueira, Delon Wright, Brown, Lowry and Pascal Siakam simply smothered Orlando and the Raptors made just enough shots to win handily. The Raptors played without DeMar Derozan.
