Toronto lost to Orlando on October 30, a different result from the Raptors' October 28 victory over the Magic already covered on CDN News.
Orlando turns the rematch around
The Orlando Magic defeated the Toronto Raptors 121–114 at Scotiabank Arena on Friday, October 30, in an NBA Cup group game. Desmond Bane scored 28 points and Franz Wagner produced 26 points and 11 assists as Orlando won after losing 129–99 to Toronto two nights earlier. The NBA's official game page confirms the final score and quarter-by-quarter totals. The two games should be treated as separate results rather than overwriting Wednesday's win with Friday's loss.
Barnes' career night is not enough
Scottie Barnes scored 41 points, his first 40-point NBA game according to the NBA's Associated Press recap, but Toronto could not hold a fourth-quarter lead. The Raptors briefly moved ahead 102–100 on an Immanuel Quickley three-pointer before Anthony Black's shot helped spark Orlando's decisive 13–4 run. Wendell Carter Jr. contributed 20 points for Orlando. Toronto's Quickley finished with 17, and Jakob Poeltl recorded a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds.
A sharp change in three-point shooting
Orlando made 18 of 34 three-point attempts Friday, compared with 10 of 35 in Wednesday's loss to the Raptors. Toronto finished the game at 114 after entering the fourth period behind 95–88. The result is the Raptors' latest completed game heading into a Sunday road date against the Los Angeles Lakers, and the game date is October 30 even though this briefing is being published later. It is not part of the October 31 NBA schedule.
