10 things: Raptors beat Magic behind career nights from Paul Watson and Yuta Watanabe

Here are 10 takeaways from the Toronto Raptors' 113-102 win over the Orlando Magic.

One — Professional: This was a very solid effort by a very shorthanded Raptors team, who were without four starters in Kyle Lowry, Pascal Siakam, Gary Trent Jr. and OG Anunoby, who were all resting to nurse nagging injuries. The Raptors shut down the paint, played unselfishly on offense, and got several standout performances from their would-be third stringers to collect the win.

Two — Wow: Paul Watson Jr. broke the game wide open with 20 points in the third quarter as the Raptors doubled the Magic 38-19 to assert control.
