Here are 10 takeaways from the Toronto Raptors’ 115-102 win over the Orlando Magic.
One — Energized: So much of winning and losing just comes down to effort. The Magic were sluggish and disinterested having lost 11 of their last 13 games, and the Raptors were hungry to snap their losing streak which was largely the difference in the game. It was a strong performance and a badly needed win, and the challenge is to bring this type of effort on a consistent basis.
Two — Determined: Pascal Siakam is making a “conscious effort” to establish his presence at the basket, head coach Nick Nurse said.
