Barnes also had 13 rebounds. A.J. Lawson added 13 points off the bench for the Raptors, who defeated the Magic for the second time in three days. Toronto posted a 104-102 victory over Orlando on Sunday.

Lawson made a layup and a 3-pointer on consecutive possessions to give Toronto a 107-101 lead before Banchero single-handedly kept his team within striking distance. He made a pair of driving layups and a pair of 3-pointers to forge a tie with 33.1 seconds to play before sinking two free throws with 4.1 seconds left to give the Magic a 113-111 lead
Toronto outscored Orlando 31-19 in the third quarter and extended its lead to 90-78 after Poeltl converted a three-point play early in the fourth quarter.
Barnes sank a 3-pointer to give Toronto a 44-43 lead with 3:01 remaining in the second before Orlando responded with an 11-5 run to end the quarter. da Silva drained a pair of 3-pointers and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope connected from beyond the arc at the buzzer during that surge.
