The Orlando Magic just made it a series. No one expected the Magic to be in this series but they were one of the hottest teams in the league to close the season — they continued that hot play in Game 1 winning 104-101.

D.J. Augustin finished with a game-high 25 points, six assists and the game-winning three-point bucket with 3.4 seconds left to steal home-court advantage away from the Raptors.

Aaron Gordon added a double-double of 10 points, 10 rebounds and played great defensively finishing with three steals.

Kawhi Leonard matched the game-high with 25 points of his own and Pascal Siakam added 24 points in the loss.

Game 2 goes Tuesday night in Toronto at 8:00 p.m. ET.
