TORONTO — The Raptors<\/a> used a record-setting 31-0 run in the first half to rout the Magic<\/a> 139-87 on Sunday night, the seventh loss in the past eight games for a slumping Orlando team.<\/p>\n The Raptors were trailing 20-14 with 5:30 left in the first quarter before scoring 31 points in a row, the longest unanswered run in the play-by-play era (since 1997-98), according to ESPN Research.<\/p>\n RJ Barrett<\/a> scored 24 points and Scottie Barnes<\/a> added 23 to go along with a career-high 15 assists for the Raptors, who remained in fifth place in the Eastern Conference standings after their most one-sided victory of the season.<\/p>\n Orlando, after beating Sacramento on Thursday to stop a six-game losing streak, found itself buried by the Raptors after a miserable opening quarter. The Magic led 18-11 after a 3-pointer by Jalen Suggs<\/a> with 6:35 left in the first, but Toronto responded with a 27-2 run to close the period.<\/p>\n Orlando committed 12 turnovers in the first quarter, leading to 14 points for the Raptors. Toronto finished with 37 points off 28 Magic turnovers. Orlando made 31 baskets.<\/p>\n After Paolo Banchero<\/a>‘s jump shot with 5:30 remaining in the first, the Magic didn’t score again until Banchero connected with 9:42 left in the second.<\/p>\n Raptors forward Brandon Ingram<\/a> sat out for the second time in four games because of a sore right heel, joining Collin Murray-Boyles<\/a> (back spasms) and Immanuel Quickley<\/a> (right foot) on the sideline.<\/p>\n The Associated Press contributed to this report. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mar 29, 2026, 11:31 PM ET TORONTO — The Raptors used a record-setting 31-0 run in the first…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":553891,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[64],"tags":[355,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-553890","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nba","8":"tag-nba","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/553890","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=553890"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/553890\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/553891"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=553890"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=553890"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=553890"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
