Orlando’s Anthony Black scored 16 of his 27 points in the third quarter. Paolo Banchero had 23 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists for his fourth career triple-double but the Magic couldn’t win back-to-back games for the first time in almost a month.
Toronto fell behind by 21 points in the second and trailed by 10 after three before battling back in the fourth. The Raptors used 13-0 run to take a 105-102 lead with 3:26 remaining.
Banchero had a chance to win it for Orlando but couldn’t connect on a step-back 3-point attempt at the buzzer.
Sandro Mamukelashvili scored 13 points, and Ochai Agbaji and Ja’Kobe Walter each had 10 for Toronto.
Banchero made nine of 19 shot attempts in his second triple-double of the season, including three of four from 3-point range.
Desmond Bane scored 18 points and Tyus Jones had 10 for Orlando. The Magic, who beat Denver on Saturday, haven’t won consecutive games since a three-game winning streak from Nov. 25 to Dec. 1.
Center Mo Bamba made his Raptors debut after signing with the team earlier Monday. He had one block but did not score.
Toronto center Jakob Poeltl (lower back) sat for the sixth time in seven games. Before the game, the Raptors said Poeltl will not play for at least the next week.
Raptors forward RJ Barrett was rested on the second night of a back-to-back. Barrett (right knee) returned from a 15-game absence Sunday.
Magic: At Indiana on Wednesday night.
Raptors: Host Denver on Wednesday night.

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Sam Reinhart scored two goals, helping the Florida Panthers beat the Washington Capitals 5-3 on Monday night and giving the back-to-back Stanley Cup champions nine wins in their past 12 games.
The Capitals (20-14-5) have lost four of five.
Florida came back from a third-period deficit to pull out the win, getting goals from Brad Marchand, Aaron Ekblad and Reinhart.
The Capitals led 3-2 early in the third on a goal by Dylan Strome, who also had two assists. But Marchand tied the score by batting in his own rebound past goalie Logan Thompson at 6:16 of the third, and Ekblad put Florida ahead for good about seven minutes later.
Reinhart added an empty-netter to seal matters for Florida.
Tom Wilson got both Washington goals in the opening period, giving the Capitals a 1-0 lead at 3:53 and then tying the score at 2-2 with 43 seconds remaining on a power-play chance.
With the two goals, Wilson has four multigoal games this season — and his second multigoal period, the first of which came Nov. 19 against the Edmonton Oilers.
Between Wilson's goals, the Panthers tied the score on Anton Lundell’s goal at 4:35 of the first, with Reinhart scoring his 20th of the season for a 2-1 lead at 12:45.
Wilson had a three-point night, getting the primary assist on Strome’s third-period goal. Strome assisted on Wilson’s two goals in the first.
After a scoreless second, the scoring picked up again in the third.
The game was Florida's first since forward Matthew Tkachuk practiced for the first time this season, following offseason surgery to repair a torn adductor muscle and sports hernia. Tkachuk practiced Sunday, but there is no timetable for his return to game action.
Capitals: Host the New York Rangers on Wednesday.
Panthers: Host Montreal on Tuesday.
