The SHADOW CORE comes through as Raptors rally to beat Magic & the defense is FOR REAL

The Toronto Raptors picked up their second straight win as their young bench guys came up huge in a late comeback against the Orlando Magic. In Episode 2012, Sean Woodley talks about how Jamal Shead, Collin Murray-Boyles, Ja'Kobe Walter and Gradey Dick helped pick up the slack for the underperforming Raptors starters in Monday's 107-106 comeback win over Orlando, and discusses how the Raptors' defense put together another bit of proof that it's just legitimately good. Off the top, Sean gets into how the Raptors' shadow core of rookie scale players chipped in in a way that felt like it was ripped out of 2017-18, and how they filled in the gaps behind the starting unit, which struggled mightily on the offensive end. Next, Sean talks about the Raptors' holding Orlando to just 12 fourth quarter points,  Scottie Barnes' immense impact, and the growing case that this unit is one of the league's very best at getting stops. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Transition play, beating up on the 5 through 10 seeds in the East), The Bad (Immanuel Quickley's very bad night) and The Hmmm (Jakob Poeltl's health update and Mo Bamba's debut) to round out the show.
