Desmond Bane scored 16 of his 32 points in the fourth quarter and sank a season-best seven 3-pointers, lifting the host Orlando Magic to a 130-120 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Friday.
Bane made 11 of 15 shots from the floor and 7 of 10 from 3-point range for Orlando, which trailed by 13 before outscoring Toronto by a 44-21 margin in the fourth quarter.
Anthony Black drained all 14 of his free-throw attempts to highlight his 25-point performance, propelling the Magic to their second straight win.
Orlando's Wendell Carter Jr. collected 23 points and seven rebounds and Paolo Banchero added 20 and 10, respectively. Jalen Suggs chipped in with 14 points and 10 assists.
The Magic made 17 of 34 attempts from 3-point range to avenge a 107-106 setback in Toronto on Dec. 29.
Brandon Ingram scored 35 points on 13-of-23 shooting from the floor for the Raptors, who kept competitive by dominating the game in points in the paint (56-42).
Scottie Barnes recorded 19 points, nine rebounds, six assists and four blocks, but Toronto saw its four-game road winning streak come to a halt.
Orlando ignited its offense in the fourth, with Bane highlighting the way. He scored eight straight points for the Magic during one pivotal sequence.
The Magic scored 14 of 18 points to pull into a tie at 80-80 before Toronto responded with a 19-6 run to end the third quarter. Ingram scored four quick points to jumpstart the surge, and RJ Barrett provided the exclamation point with a fadeaway jumper at the buzzer.
The Raptors scored 12 of the final 18 points of the second quarter to take a 57-50 lead at halftime. The sequence was capped by Barnes' outlet pass to Ja'Kobe Walter, who used his left hand to make a scoop-shot layup as time expired.
Tempers flared early in the second quarter after Bane received a flagrant-1 foul for tossing Immanuel Quickley to the floor on the latter's bid for a layup. Toronto's Ochai Agbaji was whistled for a technical foul after he aggressively came to Quickley's defense.
