TORONTO — Jamal Shead led the Toronto Raptors with 19 points as they erased a 21-point second-quarter deficit to defeat the Orlando Magic 107–106 on Monday night. Brandon Ingram finished with 17 points, while Gradey Dick added 15. Scottie Barnes contributed a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds, helping Toronto complete its second straight comeback victory after an overtime win against Golden State the night before. Orlando controlled much of the game early, building a large second-quarter lead and entering the fourth ahead by 10. Anthony Black scored 27 points for the Magic, including 16 in the third quarter. Paolo Banchero recorded 23 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists for his fourth career triple-double, but Orlando was unable to secure consecutive wins for the first time in nearly a month. Toronto surged ahead late in the fourth quarter with a 13–0 run, taking a 105–102 lead with just over three minutes remaining. Banchero had a final opportunity to win the game, but his step-back three-point attempt missed at the buzzer.


Sandro Mamukelashvili scored 13 points for Toronto, while Ochai Agbaji and Ja’Kobe Walter each added 10. Center Mo Bamba made his Raptors debut, recording one block in limited minutes. Jakob Poeltl missed his sixth game in seven outings due to a lower-back injury, and RJ Barrett was rested on the second night of a back-to-back. Desmond Bane scored 18 points and Tyus Jones added 10 for Orlando, which has not won back-to-back games since late November.
