Raptors-Magic Preview

Mired in a lengthy losing stretch, the Orlando Magic can't be happy to see the Toronto Raptors again.

Defensively challenged Orlando tries to avoid a four-game season sweep at the hands of visiting Toronto on Thursday night.

The Magic (14-27) haven't been able to slow anyone down of late, allowing 106.2 points per game - 7.3 more than their season mark - during a 2-14 skid.

Two of those losses came against the Raptors (15-27), who pulled out a 93-90 home win Dec. 21 before cruising to a 123-88 rout at Amway Center eight days later. DeMar DeRozan scored 21 and Jose Calderon had 15 points and 10 assists in that most recent matchup as Toronto shot a season-high 56.1 percent.

The Raptors also won 97-86 on Nov. 18, snapping a three-game skid in the series. Their only season sweep of Orlando came in 2006-07.

Trying really hard to figure out how the Toronto Raptors became Magic killers. We can't win ONE game against them this season?

[For the love of the game]

It's amazing how many of the magic loses have been close.
