This came as a surprise to most as Orlando Magic were the seventh seed in the East whereas the Raptors have been second and performing constantly well all season. Kawhi Leonard scored four points in a row to bring thr Raptors to 101-99 with a little mire than a minute left and it seemes impossible for Magic even after Marc Gasol's open 3-pointer rimmed out.

The time outs really seemed to be markers for change in the direction of the game and Magic seemed to know exactly when not to call them.
