In the NBA, all wins count the same. The isn't collegiate football or basketball. There are no committees to determine the Toronto Raptors' fate. At the end of the year, when we look at the final standings, this victory won't be judged by its beauty. It won't be given any style points. Thank goodness.
Toronto escaped with a hideous win against an undermanned Orlando Magic team playing without their best player, Nikola Vucevic. The team's second option, Aaron Gordon, made his return to the starting lineup and looked incredibly rusty in the process. The Magic didn't play well in this game.
