TORONTO, Canada (TheSportsNEXT) November 19, 2012: Toronto Raptors recorded their third victory in the NBA 2012-13 and only the second in their last seven games here Sunday when they used the home advantage to their liking against Orlando Magic.
A glittering show by DeMar DeRozan, who struck 20 points besides delivering nine rebounds, made sure that the hosts Toronto Raptors keep the visiting Orlando Magic at bay as they won the game by 97-86.
Apart from DeRozan, Jose Calderon was also in a mood of going that extra yard as he scored 18 assists for the Toronto Raptors who broke open a close game with a 24-12 run down the stretch to win going away.
Andrea Bargnani also delivered the goods with 17 points for the Toronto Raptors who are languishing at the last position in the NBA Atlantic Division in the Eastern Conference.
Orlando Magic dearly missed the services of JJ Redick who was not available for the game due to illness as E'Twaun Moore took most part of the work-load and scored 16 points while Glen Davis hit 16 to go with 12 rebounds.
This is the sixth defeat for the Orlando Magic in their last seven games as they are at fourth position in the NBA Southeast Division in the Eastern Conference with three victories from nine games this season.
