The Orlando Magic secured a 106-97 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Friday night, led by Tristan da Silva’s career-high 25 points. The win improved Orlando’s record to 21-15, while Toronto fell to 8-27 in a challenging season.

Da Silva’s efficient shooting—9-for-13 from the field, including 5-for-7 from beyond the arc—set the tone for the Magic.

Jalen Suggs left the game late in the second quarter with back spasms after falling without contact, adding a concerning development for the Magic. The guard was wheeled off the court, covering his face with a towel.

Despite Suggs’ absence, Goga Bitadze stepped up with 11 points, 13 rebounds, and seven assists. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope added 15 points, and Cole Anthony dished out a career-high-tying 11 assists, demonstrating Orlando’s depth.

Toronto struggled to maintain momentum after snapping an 11-game losing streak against Brooklyn earlier this week. Jakob Poeltl led the Raptors with 25 points on 11-for-12 shooting, while Scottie Barnes contributed 20 points and nine rebounds.

The Magic’s three-point shooting proved pivotal, as they drained 19 of 44 attempts from long range. Cole Anthony’s late-game playmaking also ensured Orlando held off Toronto’s comeback attempts.

Defensive contributions were key for Orlando, with Bitadze adding three blocks and Jonathan Isaac chipping in two. The team’s interior presence helped them overcome Toronto’s efficient 47.5% shooting from the field.

Toronto’s Immanuel Quickley had a double-double with 11 points and 11 assists, but the team’s inconsistency from three-point range—10-for-29—proved costly. Gradey Dick’s 2-for-7 shooting from beyond the arc highlighted the Raptors’ struggles.
