Absolutely incredible! A crushing 52-point loss! The worst NBA draft pick ever is born.

A 52-point victory...

The Raptors completely hammered the Magic at home 139-87, even unleashing a 31-0 super scoring run, which is the longest opponent scoring drought offensive surge in NBA history.

In this game, the Raptors had as many as eight players scoring double-digit points, and the 2.06-meter interior player Mamukelashvili had an incredibly exaggerated plus/minus of +47.

The Magic only had three players scoring double-digit points, and none of them scored close to 20 points.

Particularly, the Magic's star player Banchero performed terribly under the Raptors' defensive pressure, making only 3 out of 14 shots for 9 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, and committing 5 turnovers, with a plus/minus of -30, the second lowest in the game.

This guy was born on November 12, 2002, a heavy forward standing 2.08 meters tall and weighing 113 kilograms, the No. 1 pick in the 2022 draft. So far this season, he has played 64 games, averaging 35 minutes per game with 22.6 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 5.1 assists, with shooting percentages of 45.9%, 31%, and 78.2%. Last summer, he signed a five-year $239 million super-max contract extension with the Magic.

Even though the Raptors' defense is formidable, Banchero, as the Magic's offensive core, only scored 9 points, which is clearly a complete failure, a failure among failures.

The Raptors are indeed one of the best defensive teams in the league today. So far this season, they average 112.0 points allowed per game, ranking ninth in the league; their defensive efficiency is 112.1, ranking fifth; they limit opponents' shooting percentage to 46.5%, ranking tenth, among other stats.

Currently, the Raptors have a record of 42 wins and 32 losses, ranking fifth in the Eastern Conference, leading the seventh-place Philadelphia (41-33) by only one win. The Magic, with 39 wins and 35 losses, are eighth in the East, trailing the sixth-place Hawks (42-33) by 2.5 wins.

Last season, the Magic also only managed to stay in the play-in area with a 41-41 record, seventh in the East, then successfully entered the playoffs as the 7th seed, losing 1-4 to the Celtics in the first round of the East. However, this year's situation seems even worse than last year, mainly because the second star Wagner Jr. has not returned due to ankle injuries.

Wagner Jr. has only played 28 games so far this season, averaging 31.8 minutes per game with 21.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.1 steals, with shooting percentages of 47.9%, 36.5%, and 82.8%.
