TORONTO — The last time the Magic traveled to Scotiabank Arena in late December, Orlando gave up a 21-point lead when the Raptors stormed back for a one-point victory.

Although the outcome Sunday night at Toronto was ultimately the same, how the teams got there was different.

Much different.

This time, the Magic found themselves trailing by as many as 25 points in the first half, and the Raptors didn’t let up from there. Toronto scored 113 points through the first three quarters, led by as many as 56 for the night and finished on top 139-87 at home.

The 52-point loss is the largest loss in franchise history for the Magic, who saw no player reach 20 points when Desmond Bane scored a team-high 17.

Meanwhile, Toronto (42-32) saw Montverde Academy grad RJ Barrett (24 points), Scottie Barnes (23) and Sandro Mamukelashvili (19) and combine for 66 points in the 52-point victory while the team overall outscored Orlando 82-38 in the paint.

With the win, the Raptors clinch the three-game regular season series over Orlando 2-1.

The Magic (39-35) return to Kia Center on Tuesday for the first night of a back-to-back against the Suns. Orlando hosts Atlanta the following night.

Slow start

The Magic actually led 20-14 more than halfway through the first quarter, but they didn’t score once across the final 5 1/2 minutes of the opening frame.

The Raptors closed the quarter on a 24-0 run that eventually grew into a historic run. Toronto’s 31-0 run between the end of the first quarter and start of the second quarter marked the longest run in NBA history, since play-by-play started being tracked in 1996-97.

The longest run in league history was previously 30-0 by the Mavericks on Dec. 2, 2023 against the Thunder.

Orlando trailed by 28 points at the end of the first quarter and 27 at the half.

Fastbreak difference

It didn’t matter if it was because of a turnover committed by Orlando or a missed layup — the Raptors were going to push the pace in transition and run the other direction no matter what.

Toronto entered the game averaging a league-leading 18.5 fastbreak points and notched 26 fastbreak points in the first half alone. The Raptors converted all nine of their fastbreak opportunities while the Magic had two fastbreak chances for just three points.

Ultimately, Toronto outscored Orlando 39-7 in the fastbreak.

Difference from distance

The Raptors not only controlled the paint but also outshot the Magic from beyond the arc.

Toronto shot 8 for 16 from 3-point range in the first half while Orlando was 3 for 16 on the other end.

Six different Raptors made at least one 3-pointer and three others made at least two. For Orlando, Paolo Banchero ended 0 for 5 from distance, Tristan da Silva 1 for 5 and Jalen Suggs 2 for 6.

Toronto ended at 13 for 29 from distance and Orlando 9 for 38 for the game.

Rookie watch

Both Noah Penda and Jase Richardson played majority of their minutes in the fourth quarter with the final outcome already determined.

Penda notched three points with three rebounds and two assists in 14 minutes of action.

Richardson missed a pair of 3-pointers and was held scoreless in 18 minutes while adding four rebounds and three assists.

Familiar face

On a 10-day NBA contract with the Raptors, former Magic guard Markelle Fultz entered the game early in the fourth quarter.

Fultz, who was with Orlando from 2019-24, didn’t score in seven minutes with one rebound and one assist.
