The Toronto Raptors<\/a> delivered one of the most dominant stretches in recent NBA<\/a> history, ripping off a 31-0 run against the Orlando Magic<\/a>, the longest unanswered scoring run in the play-by-play era.<\/p>\n

The sequence flipped the game early. After a tight start, trailing 20-14, the Raptors exploded following Orlando\u2019s first timeout with 4:04 left in the first quarter. Jamal Shead and RJ Barrett<\/a> kept the pressure on at the free-throw line, while Sandro Mamukelashvili sparked the run with perimeter shooting.<\/p>\n

From there, it snowballed. Mamukelashvili knocked down another three. Scottie Barnes<\/a> added two dunks. AJ Lawson joined in with a three-pointer. By the time Jakob Poeltl finished inside, the score had ballooned to 45-20.<\/p>\n

The run stretched across 7 minutes and 24 seconds of game time. Toronto shot 11-of-14 during that span, including 4-of-5 from three-point range, while going a perfect 7-of-7 from the free throw line. Their defense fueled everything, forcing seven steals and constant turnovers.<\/p>\n

Orlando had no response. The Magic went 0-of-7 from the field, missed all four three-point attempts, committed 12 turnovers, and racked up six fouls during the same stretch. Every possession broke down before it could develop.<\/p>\n

Paolo Banchero<\/a> finally ended the drought with a basket at the 9:42 mark of the second quarter, making it 45-22. By then, the damage was done.<\/p>\n

The Raptors carried that momentum into halftime, leading 70-43.<\/p>\n

The 31-0 burst also set a new benchmark. It surpassed the previous record held by the Dallas Mavericks<\/a>, who recorded a 30-0 run against the Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a> in 2023.<\/p>\n

Runs like this are extremely rare in the NBA, and unless there is a massive comeback by the Magic, the Raptors will cruise to another win.<\/p>\n
