GUT CHECK: Orlando Magic, Franz Wagner RESPOND and DEFEAT Toronto Raptors in NBA Cup Showdown

The Orlando Magic had to answer the call after a blowout defeat against the Toronto Raptors. After giving up their lead in the fourth quarter, they answered with a final run to deliver a win to start their NBA Cup journey.

The Magic are still learning how to win in the Sean Sweeney offense and defense. Those hiccups have characterized the first week of the season. But pieces of that formula -- from the team's hot shooting, ball movement and interior defense -- began to emerge to score the impressive 121-114 victory.

The Magic are finding their formula to win. But one piece is still missing this season. The Magic are not dominating the paint like they did in years past. Orlando is still finding its formula for victory.

But they have some momentum to keep building and improving.
