ORLANDO — Ja’Kobe Walter swished a contested 3-pointer with 0.5 seconds remaining and the Toronto Raptors edged the Orlando Magic 114-113 on Tuesday night after blowing a 12-point lead in the fourth quarter.

Paolo Banchero rallied the Magic, scoring 22 of his 41 points in the final period on 8-for-8 shooting. He made two free throws with 5 seconds left to give Orlando a 113-111 lead.

Banchero, who finished with eight rebounds, eight assists and four steals, also scored 41 in a loss to Golden State last Thursday. The Magic have dropped four in a row and five of six — all at home, where they typically have found success.

Walter, a rookie from Baylor, had 17 points for the Raptors, who improved to 7-23 on the road. They won 104-102 at Orlando on Sunday night.

Raptors starting guard Gradey Dick sat out after getting shaken up in a collision Sunday night. Dick, who averages 14.4 points per game, exited after being struck in the face by the back of Cole Anthony’s head during a fall late in the first half.

Takeaways

Raptors: Walter, a rookie from Baylor, had 17 points as the Raptors (20-42) improved to 7-23 on the road. They won 104-102 at Orlando on Sunday night

Magic: Orlando, clinging to eighth place in the Eastern Conference, fell 1.5 games behind the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference standings after climbing to the No. 3 and 4 spots earlier in the season. Orlando announced earlier in the day that guard Jalen Suggs had undergone surgery on his left knee and would not be available for the rest of the season, even if the team makes the postseason. Backup guard Cole Anthony, who has been starting in Suggs' absence, missed the game with a left big toe injury, and veteran Cory Joseph got the start.

Key moment

Following a timeout by the Raptors, they inbounded in the frontcourt to Walter, who took two dribbles toward the middle of the floor and created just enough space to nail his winning 3 over Tristan da Silva.

Key stat

Toronto overcame 20 turnovers by outrebounding Orlando 48-35 and making eight more free throws.
