Magic Win Nail-Biter!! 104-103

This time around it wasn't such an easy win. This one went down to the wire. Toronto was down for most of the game but made a push at the very end. Here's a play-by-play of the closing possessions:

1. Toronto is down 100-91.
2. Delfino hits a three pointer, 100-94.
3. Calderon hits a three, 100-97
4. Calderon hits another big three, 100-100.
5. Delfino hits a free throw, Toronto leads 101-100.
6. Turkoglu drives to the lane for a layup and puts Orlando back on top, 102-101.
7. Turk hits two free throws and Orlando leads, 104-101.
8. Delfino gets a layup, 104-103 with 9.6 seconds left.
9. Keyon is called for an offensive foul, on the inbounds pass.
10. Bosh gets the isolation play along with a jump shot to try to win the game.
11. Rashard rebounds the missed shot and time expires as the Magic win, 104-103.

For the second straight game, Toronto got buried in a double-digit deficit in the opening minutes—this time from inside. The Magic hit only 9-31 shots from three point land, which is a dreadful 29%.

Dwight had another spectacular 20-20 game; he finished with 29 points, 20 rebounds, and three blocked shots. But, Rashard and Turk were a combined 11-36 from the field. Those two must be more consistent and offer more because this is the big boy time. Our forwards need to step it up.

Our buddy Kapono went off again with 20 points off the bench. Bosh was the only starter for the Raptors to score in double digits, but he got significant help off the bench. 57 bench points to be exact.

Jameer, Carlos, and Keyon did a pretty good job on the Raptors point guards, this game. After not forcing Ford or Calderon into any turnovers in Game 1, Forderon turned the ball over 5 times in Game 2. Toronto averages only 12 turnovers per game, so forcing those 5 from them is a good feat.

Game 3 is on April 24th in Toronto, Ontario at 7:30 on Sun Sports.
