What happened
Toronto opened the week by flattening Orlando 129-99, and the fanbase celebrated by complaining about Jakob's contract. Two nights later the same Magic handed back a 114-121 loss, the turning point that soured everything after it. One fan facing a possible layoff admitted they "could really use a win, even if it's got nothing to do with me." A 125-131 loss in Los Angeles left the Raptors at 3-3 and fans insisting "the team sold Scottie tonight." Misery climbed from 43 to 66, which seems lenient.
