Raptors erase Magic by 30 in a two-way masterclass

The wire

Toronto turned a home date with Orlando into a statement, winning 129-99 at Scotiabank Arena. Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett set the tone as the Raptors controlled the threes, the glass and the ball, piling up assists and steals at a rate Orlando simply could not answer.

Philadelphia authored the night's best comeback, unleashing a 39-point fourth quarter to beat Indiana 114-109 on the road. Tyrese Maxey led the charge while Anfernee Simons drilled six threes. Cleveland, meanwhile, bullied Washington 121-111 on the boards — a 47-27 rebound edge, 14 threes and 95% free-throw shooting — with Evan Mobley scoring 24 and sealing it late.

Detroit ground out a 97-89 win over Charlotte behind Cade Cunningham's 30 points, a decisive third quarter and the cleaner turnover sheet, closing from deep. Next up, Atlanta hosts Miami at State Farm Arena.
