I'm sure both teams will play better in second half.

Raptors got a few unfortunate wide open 3's in the last minute, I still think Orlando has the effort and energy to pull this game off. Going up 1-0 as the huge underdog road team is BIG.

That's just not an accurate analysis at all. Lowry was so much better than DeRozan in the playoffs.

Lowry needs to get his **** together, he is getting absolutely cooked, and he is missing everything.

DJ will definitely come back down to normal but will Vuc be invisible for another half???

Fantastic 2nd quarter defense by Magic they shut down Kawhi, 0 points for Lowry at the half is inexcusable

Only 1 fanbase in the East has the right to trash talk- and that's Boston.

They are the closest thing in this East to old reliable.


You a low key Celtics fan?

Lowry is so trash when it counts lmao.

Raptors fans pretend he was good last year because he had good stats against this joke of a defense in Cleveland...

Augustin is 7/9 (perfect 3/3 on threes) with 19 points at halftime while Lowry is 0/4 and scoreless. If you told me that was going to happen in the first 24 minutes, I would have expected Toronto to be trailing by 20+. The 2nd quarter was ugly until that little run, but I'll take just an 8-point deficit after Toronto (shooting +40% on 3FGA since the trade deadline) makes less than 30% of their distance shots while Orlando goes 8/15 including a shot clock buzzer beater.

I already watched this game today earlier including the little run at the end to cut it to 8 before half.
