Da Silva scores career-high 25 points, Magic overcome loss of Suggs to beat Raptors 106-97
TORONTO -- — Tristan da Silva scored a career-high 25 points and the Orlando Magic overcame the loss of guard Jalen Suggs to back spasms to beat the struggling Toronto Raptors 106-97 on Friday night.
Goga Bitadze had 11 points and 13 rebounds and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 15 points to help the Magic win for the fourth time in 10. Orlando's Cole Anthony matched a career high with 11 assists.
Orlando came in as the NBA’s worst shooting team from 3-point range, but made 9 of 14 from distance in the first quarter, tying the franchise record for 3s in a quarter.
Suggs was playing defense late in the second when he stumbled without any contact and fell over clutching at his lower back . He stayed down for several minutes before being helped into a wheelchair. The fourth-year guard covered his face with a towel as he was wheeled off.
Jakob Poeltl scored 25 points for the Raptors. Scottie Barnes added 20, and Immanuel Quickley had 11 points and 11 assists.
Takeaways Magic: Orlando made nine 3-pointers in the third quarter against San Antonio on Feb. 8, 2024. They also had nine in the third against the Lakers on Jan. 31, 2018.
Raptors: Toronto snapped an 11-game losing streak by beating Brooklyn on Wednesday but couldn’t maintain any momentum. The Raptors haven’t won consecutive games since home victories over Miami and Indiana on Dec. 1 and 3. They’ve only won back-to-back games twice this season.
Key moment Four Magic players connected from deep in a 14-4 run late in the first that gave Orlando a lead it would never relinquish.
Key stat Orlando shot 19 for 44 from 3-point range, improving to 18-6 this season when making 10 or more from distance. The Magic are 3-9 when they make nine or fewer 3s.
Up next Orlando hosts Utah on Sunday night. Toronto hosts Milwaukee on Monday night.
