Danny Green had seven three-pointers and 29 points to lift the Toronto Raptors to a 118-109 victory over the Orlando Magic on Monday.
Kawhi Leonard and Serge Ibaka had 15 points apiece, Marc Gasol chipped in with 13, Kyle Lowry had 12 and Fred VanVleet finished with 10 for the Raptors , who stretched their win streak to four in a row.Green narrowly missed his career high of eight three-pointers he'd set in a January 19 victory over Memphis.
Green had three threes and 11 points in the third quarter, and when VanVleet drilled a three-pointer with 2:17 left in the frame, the long bomb put Toronto up by 24 points. They cruised into the fourth with a 95-75 lead. The Magic began the night one spot out of a playoff spot in the East, a half a game back of eighth-place Miami. Monday's game was the first of four games for Toronto against teams playing for their post-season lives. The Raptors visit Brooklyn on Wednesday, Charlotte on Friday, then return home to host the Heat on Sunday, the Raptors' final regular-season game at home.
