The Toronto Raptors withstood a strong fourth-quarter push from the Orlando Magic tonight, emerging from the Magic Kingdom with a 102-89 victory
With the win, the Raptors keep pace with the Chicago Bulls — who won last night — in the race for fifth place in the Eastern Conference. Though the two teams are currently tied with identical 45-32 records, the Bulls do own the tiebreaker.
Perhaps more intriguingly though, the Raptors (and Bulls, to be fair) now find themselves just 1.5 games back of the Philadelphia 76ers, who currently sit in the fourth spot.
