Toronto’s Scottie Barnes and Orlando’s Jalen Suggs are not only two of the top rookies in the NBA this season but also longtime friends. On the court, the two put on a show Friday night, scoring a combined 42 points but it was Barnes and the host Raptors who came away with a 110-109 win over Suggs and the Magic.
Barnes, the former Florida State guard, finished with a team-high 21 points and was one of five Raptors to score in double digits along with Gary Trent Jr. (19 points) and OG Anunoby (16).
Suggs, meanwhile, finished with a season-high 21 points, including seven in the third quarter.
