Scottie Barnes recorded his fourth consecutive double-double, going for 23 points and 15 assists, as the Toronto Raptors destroyed the visiting Orlando Magic on Sunday, 139-87.
Already dominating the matchup between Eastern Conference playoff hopefuls, Toronto (42-32) went on a 17-0 run to close the third quarter and extending into the fourth.
The burst, lasting a little more than three minutes, extended a 38-point lead to 55. The run also effectively doomed Orlando (39-35) to its most lopsided loss in franchise history.
The Magic's previous worst defeat was a 47-point rout against Chicago in 2017. And, for a stretch in the fourth quarter on Sunday, Orlando appeared poised to avoid the dubious record.
A 15-4 run Magic run pulled them to a 45-point differential with 4:26 remaining. The Moritz Wagner 3-pointer at the conclusion of this stretch represented the last points Orlando scored on the night.
Toronto held the Magic to a dismal 31-of-82 shooting from the floor, including 9-of-38 from 3-point range, while forcing Orlando into 27 turnovers.
A chunk of the Raptors' thefts came on three steals each from Barnes, RJ Barrett, A.J. Lawson and Sandro Mamukelashvili. Barrett also scored a game-high 24 points.
He paced eight Raptors scoring in double-figures, including all five starters. Jamal Shead finished with 12 points and 10 assists, while Ja'Kobe Walter and Jakob Poetlt each finished with 11 points.
Mamukelashvili led the bench contingent with 19 points, Lawson added 14 and Gradey Dick went for 11.
Toronto was able to give its full rotation of available players extensive minutes thanks to a big early lead. The Raptors pulled ahead by 18 points through the first quarter, which extended to 27 points by halftime.
Just three Magic scorers reached double-figures, led by Desmond Bane's 17 points. Jalen Suggs finished with 13 points and five assists, and Tristan da Silva scored 12 points.
Paolo Banchero, Orlando's leading scorer on the season, finished with just nine points on 3-of-14 shooting from the floor.
