Magic look to finish Raptors in Game 5 (AP)

 
Orlando Magic coach Stan Van Gundy has never seen his locker room clear out faster than it did after Game 3 against the Toronto Raptors. It was the Magic's lone loss in the playoffs so far, and at 14 points their worst defeat since February. He gave his players a rare day off from practice to think about it, and Orlando responded with a 106-94 gut-check win Saturday at Toronto to take a 3-1 lead. (link)
