Tracy was the games high scorer putting up 37 points during the game. Tracy had a 16 point 3rd quarter and had the fans chanting MVP as the quarter closed. Though the Magic won they played a horrible 4th quarter. "We can't have letdowns like that, especially at a time where this is a much-needed win for us, It was disappointing because I thought I was going to be able to sit out the whole game but let our guard down and had to come in. A couple guys had to come in and save the day." McGrady said. McGrady threw the ball off the board against Rafaer Alston and caught it in air to throw it down during the game! "I told (teammate) Chris Whitney that I felt like I was about to go, I told him I was going to throw it off the glass, And I don't think he believed me. And sure enough, the next possession, I got the opportunity to do it, it was right there. It was a little dead in the TD Waterhouse tonight, so I had to liven things up." McGrady said. No one on the Raptors seemed to enjoy watching or being part of that play.
