Ross had a magnificent Game 3 against his former squad on Friday night. The ex-Raptor led the Magic with 24 points and five three-pointers in 32 minutes off the bench. Unfortunately, his efforts were not enough to lead Orlando to its first ever home playoff win since 2011.
The 6-foot-7 swingman out of Washington led a valiant effort by the Magic to make Game 3 more interesting in the final moments. Ross scored all of his 13 second half points in the fourth quarter, which included three all important three-pointers.
The Magic entered the payoff period with an 11-point deficit, and fell behind by as much as 16. But the Magic staged a comeback effort to close the gap to as low as three after Ross drained a huge three-pointer with 42 seconds remaining to make it a one-possession contest.
The Magic played good defense on the following possession, forcing Kawhi Leonard to a tough long two-pointer. Unfortunately, Orlando could not secure the possession as Kyle Lowry got the clutch offensive rebound to pretty much seal the deal for Toronto.
The Raptors were led by Pascal Siakam's career 30-point night as superstar forward Kawhi Leonard struggled throughout the contest.
Orlando shocked the Raptors in Game 1, but has since relinquished homecourt advantage after dropping the last two contests. The Magic look to even up the series in Game 4 on Sunday.
