Ja'Kobe Walter's Last-Second Three Lifts Raptors Over Magic 114-113

In a thrilling finish, the Toronto Raptors narrowly defeated the Orlando Magic 114-113, thanks to a last-second 3-pointer by rookie Ja’Kobe Walter. The Raptors had initially led by 12 points in the fourth quarter but saw their advantage erode as Paolo Banchero scored 22 of his 41 points in the final period, pulling the Magic ahead with free throws just seconds before Walter's shot. Banchero also contributed eight rebounds, eight assists, and four steals, but the Magic have now lost four consecutive games at home. Walter finished the game with 17 points, while RJ Barrett added 21 points for the Raptors. Toronto improved their road record to 7-23 with this victory, having also won a close game against Orlando just days prior. The Raptors played without starting guard Gradey Dick, who was sidelined due to an injury from a recent collision.
