TORONTO — Terrence Ross and the Orlando Magic shook off the disappointment of a difficult loss by taking down Ross’ former team.

  • Terrence Ross scored 28 points to lead the Orlando Magic over the Toronto Raptors
  • Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard sat out the game as part of the team's load management for him
  • The Magic have won 8 of their last 10 games

Ross scored 28 points, Nikola Vucevic had 23 points and 12 rebounds and the Magic beat the Raptors 113-98 on Sunday, ending Toronto’s winning streak at seven.

Jonathan Isaac scored 16 points and D.J. Augustin had 12 as the Magic won for the sixth time in seven games. Orlando had won a season-best five straight before a 110-109 home loss to Chicago on Friday, its first game following the All-Star break.

“This is the part of the season where you’ve got to move forward, no matter what,” Ross said of moving past Friday’s narrow defeat. “You can’t let that determine how you start the next game. You’ve got to make sure that you’re ready to play.”

Ross, who played 4½ seasons in Toronto, connected on nine of 21 attempts, including three of eight from 3-point range, and matched his season high with nine rebounds. He has led the Magic in scoring 11 times this season, including five of the past 10 games.

“He’s been great,” Vucevic said. “When he scores for us like that, it just gives us a huge advantage.”

Orlando made 12 of 20 field goals in the fourth quarter and led by double digits for the final nine minutes.

“I thought we played hard, with a ton of intensity, and we had good purpose of play,” coach Steve Clifford said.

Kyle Lowry had 19 points and 10 assists and Pascal Siakam had 10 points and 11 rebounds for the Raptors, who lost for the first time since Jan. 31 against Milwaukee.

“Just never really got in a rhythm,” coach Nick Nurse said. “They made some big shots every time we thought we were right where we needed to be.”

Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard (rest) did not play after scoring 25 points, 19 of them in the second half, in Friday’s home win over San Antonio. Nurse said Leonard will return for Tuesday’s game against Eastern Conference rival Boston.

Toronto is 13-4 without Leonard.

“We just didn’t execute,” Lowry said.

Marc Gasol scored 16 points and Serge Ibaka had 14, extending his streak of consecutive games with at least 10 points to a career-best 22.

The Magic led 53-30 at halftime and took an 80-71 lead into the final quarter.
