"The Toronto Raptors went on a 31-0 run in the first half en route to a 139-87 blowout win against the struggling Magic. This margin falls one point shy of a franchise record for largest win which was set back in 2021 against the Golden State Warriors."
"This would go down as the largest unanswered scoring run in the play-by-play era, which dates back to 1996-97. The dismantling loss for the Magic would also mark their biggest loss in franchise history, as they have not lost a game by more than 50 points."
"Make no mistake about it, this win is as big of a statement win as the Raptors could achieve at this point in the season - even if it's against an Orlando squad that's been on a downward spiral."
"Both teams came into this game battling for positioning within the Eastern Conference playoffs as only two games separated the fifth and eighth seed."
