Raptors Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
Jermaine O'Neal was obtained by the Raptors in the most
significant trade of the Bryan Colangelo era for one reason—to
shore up Toronto's wretched interior defense.
O'Neal may not yet be in tip-top condition—he figures every 10
games will be a watershed mark in his recovery from missing almost two
full seasons with a knee injury—but he's not backing down from
trying to do his job.
He worked almost exclusively one-on-one against Dwight Howard in
Orlando on Tuesday and has given Toronto an inside presence it's
lacked for years.
All because it's a matter of pride.
"In Indiana, we never doubled. We played one-on-one defense," he
said.

Jameer Nelson, Hedo Turkoglu and Rashard Lewis had 22 points apiece as the Magic overcame Bosh's 40-point, 18-rebound night in a 103-90 win in a rematch of first-round NBA playoff foes.
