Scottie Barnes recorded his second consecutive double-double, going for 23 points and a career-high 15 assists, as the Toronto Raptors destroyed the visiting Orlando Magic on Sunday, 139-87.

Already dominating the matchup between Eastern Conference playoff hopefuls thanks to a 31-0 spurt in the first half, Toronto went on a 17-0 run to close the third and extending into the fourth. The burst, lasting a little more than three minutes, extended a 38-point lead to 55. The run also effectively doomed Orlando to its most lopsided loss in franchise history.

The Magic's previous worst defeat was a 47-point rout against Chicago in 2017. And, for a stretch in the fourth quarter, Orlando appeared poised to avoid the dubious record. A 15-4 run Magic run pulled them to a 45-point differential with 4:26 remaining. The Moritz Wagner 3-pointer at the conclusion of this stretch represented the last points Orlando scored.

RJ Barrett also scored a game-high 24 points and paced eight Raptors scoring in double figures. Jamal Shead finished with 12 points and 10 assists, while Ja'Kobe Walter and Jakob Poetlt each finished with 11 points. Desmond Bane led Orlando with 17 points, Jalen Suggs finished with 13 points and five assists and Tristan da Silva scored 12. Paolo Banchero, Orlando's leading scorer, finished with just nine points.
