The Toronto Raptors are back even with Memphis.

That seems to be the most important part of these games for Toronto.

Considering the injuries the Raptors are battling these days, any opportunity to keep even with the Memphis Grizzlies for the sixth-worst record in the NBA and a 46% chance to keep its first-round pick this year needs to be taken advantage of.

A 111-96 loss to the Orlando Magic on Sunday night meant the Raptors handled their business if you will.

There was a feistiness to the Raptors who kept it close, particularly in the first half, thanks to some smothering defense against the Magic.

Ochai Agbaji did his best to hold Paolo Banchero in check early as the Raptors forced Orlando into seven turnovers before the break.

But the Magic began to pull away early in the second half.

Toronto went three and a half minutes without a made field goal allowing Orlando to pull ahead by double digits.

Toronto’s second unit tried to keep it within striking distance, but the Magic began to heat up from three-point range and there was nothing the Raptors could do.

Banchero dropped 14 of his 29 points in the third quarter and a catch-and-shoot three-pointer from Jalen Suggs put the Magic up 16 late in the quarter.

Minutes later, Suggs picked off a pass from Jahmi’us Ramsey and nailed a pull-up three to keep Toronto at bay.
