The Raptors stretched their winning streak to six against the Orlando Magic on Monday night, but there were few smiles or pats on the back after the final buzzer.
Toronto posted 73 points in the first half alone on the way to a 131-112 victory, but allowing the Magic to shoot 49 per cent from the field left Raptors coach Dwane Casey wanting more.
“We’ll take the win, but we can’t be happy with our defensive performance, trading baskets like that,” he said. “Like I told the team, we have bigger goals in mind, and if we’re intent on achieving them we’ve got to have a better mindset than we had tonight defensively.
