The Toronto Raptors edged the Orlando Magic 107–106 on December 29 at Scotiabank Arena in a defensive stalemate that fell well short of the 220.5-point Vegas total. J. Shead led the Raptors with 19 points while B. Ingram added 17, though Toronto shot just 39.4 percent from the field and made only 8 three-pointers. Orlando's A. Black paced all scorers with 27 points and P. Banchero contributed 23, yet the Magic's 25 assists and 9 three-pointers proved insufficient despite a 40.7 field-goal percentage. The game hinged on Toronto's fourth-quarter execution—the Raptors outscored Orlando 23–12 in the final frame after trailing through three quarters, while the Magic's eight turnovers to Toronto's six proved costly down the stretch. Both teams posted identical 110.6 offensive and defensive ratings, underscoring how tightly matched the contest remained throughout. The Raptors' late-game composure and defensive pressure in the fourth quarter sealed a one-point victory that keeps Toronto competitive in the playoff race.
