Ryan Anderson scored 24 points and Dwight Howard collected 19 points and 15 rebounds as the Orlando Magic erased a double-digit deficit and dropped the visiting Toronto Raptors 102-96 on Sunday.
J.J. Redick added 21 points off the bench and Hedo Turkoglu chipped in 15 points and seven assists for the Magic, who have won four straight since an Opening Day loss.
The Raptors led 87-74 after a pair of free throws by DeMar DeRozan with 9:42 left. But Orlando took off on a 20-2 run over the next seven minutes to grab a 94-89 lead. Anderson drained a pair of 3-pointers and Redick and Turkoglu each connected from beyond the arc during the spurt.
Andrea Bargnani finally broke Toronto’s drought with a 3-pointer to pull back within 94-92 with 2:48 left. Howard made a layup and blocked a shot at the other end to keep Orlando clear, and Redick sealed it from the free-throw line.
The Magic ended up outscoring the Raptors 32-15 in the fourth quarter.
Bargnani finished with 28 points and Jose Calderon recorded 18 points and 13 assists for Toronto, which has dropped three in a row.
