The Magic have a lot of things going for them this season. They sit atop the Southeast Division with a healthy 55-18 record, they are winners of their last 6 straight, and have not lost a home game in the month of March.

Well here's the bad news, Orlando, the month of March is over! You opened up February with a loss at home, prepare to crumble under the awesome power of the Raptors!

The Raptors have won 4 games in a row, their longest streak of the year, and effectively dropping the 'C' (for now) that preceded their name. They are coming off of a glorious overtime win over Los Bulls, due in large part to the play of Jose Calderon and Chris Bosh, coupled with the energy of Pops Mensah-Bonsu Possum's Phone Ban.

The Raptors will try to split the season series tonight. The Magic are currently up 2-1.

W2W4:
- Dwight Howard grabbed 18 rebounds on Monday night, making him the youngest player in NBA history to record 5,000 career rebounds. If he didn't do it Monday night, he will do it Wednesday night. Dwight Howard owns the Raptor key.
- On another Dwight related note, this season vs. the Raps Howard has averaged 29 points and 10 rebounds per contest. HOWEVER, Dwight Howard has not yet met Pops Mensah-Bonsu Possum's Phone Ban KryptoDwight.
- Ex-Raptor Rafer Alston is the newest member of the Magic. He will most likely try to get revenge on the Raps and try too hard, resulting in embarrassing himself.
