Orlando Magic at Toronto Raptors

Da Silva scores career-high 25 points, Magic overcome loss of Suggs to beat Raptors 106-97

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.
