After a slow start the Atlantic Division leading Toronto Raptors slowly and methodically put the Moue Town Magic away behind the best back court in the East and yes I went there. The Magic played tough as one of their youngsters Tobias Harris Talents keep heading in the right direction.

The Raptors up only 44-41 at the break get some separation in the 3rd frame behind a 36-24 run that saw both Kyle Lowry (28 pts 6 asst) and DeMar DeRozan (24 pts 4 asst) lead the charge. Arguably the best Guard Tandem in the East they both had help as Terrence Ross added 16 points and Amir Johnson 12 points and eight boards. The Dinosaurs were just more efficient as they almost went 180 (50% FG 50% 3 pt FG 77% FT). The Magic for the most part could not slow down Lowry and DeRozan once they got it going.

The O Magic gets 28 points and six boards from former Tennessee Volunteer Tobias Harris as he led five Magic Players in double figures. E'Twuan Moore had 16 points off the bench and Nikola Vucevic and Victor Oladipo added eleven points apiece. The Magic are building something as their Core is under 25 years of age.

The Raptors move to 31-25 and that is four games ahead of the 2nd place BK Nets in the Atlantic. The Magic looking to load as many Lottery Balls as possible have to remember the key to winning the NBA Draft Lottery..."You can't win...if you don't lose"
