The Scotiabank Arena was a beautiful setting on Monday night as the Toronto Raptors took on the Orlando Magic, donned in their white dino throwback jerseys for the first time this season, with the throwback court making an appearance too, it looked like it could be a great night.
Ultimately, it was. But lord, it took a lot to get there. In truth, it was an ugly, ugly game but the Toronto Raptors prevailed 104-95, even with a late hiccup.
The night started well enough for the Toronto Raptors, and they were cruising by the end of the first quarter.
