"But Magic guard Javonte Smart hit a contested triple to cut his team's deficit in half. Backup 905 guard AJ Hoggard ran the clock, got a switch onto Lester Quinones and drove. As the double came, he threw out a stiff forearm, tried to shove his way through the lane and was called for an offensive foul. Smart banged another 3, this time through a David Roddy foul, completing the four-point play to seize a one-point lead with 16 seconds left."
"Roddy committed another blunder, stepping out of bounds off the ensuing inbound to hand the ball right back to Osceola. Four of Roddy's five turnovers came in the final quarter. The 905 fouled. Then down three, they threw the ball away again. This time it was AJ Hoggard making his fifth turnover of the night. A disastrous finish for the formerly first-placed juggernaut."
Raptors 905 led by as many as 18 in the third quarter before Osceola mounted a comeback. Javonte Smart hit multiple contested triples, including a four-point play that gave Osceola a one-point lead late. David Roddy and AJ Hoggard combined for critical turnovers down the stretch, with Roddy committing four of his five turnovers in the fourth quarter and Hoggard finishing with five total. Quincy Guerrier led the 905 with 24 points and 12 rebounds, often scoring in transition. Tyreke Key provided halfcourt scoring stability with 20 points as the 905 fell 112-109 and dropped their third straight.
