(Sports Network) - The third-seeded Orlando Magic attempt to take a 2-0 lead over the sixth-seeded Toronto Raptors, as the teams meet tonight at Amway Arena for Game 2 of their first-round playoff series.

This is a best-of-seven series. Game 3 is scheduled for Thursday at Air Canada Centre.

In Game 1, Dwight Howard scored 25 points, pulled down 22 rebounds and swatted five shots as Orlando jumped out to a big lead and held on from there to defeat Toronto, 114-100, at Amway Arena.

Jameer Nelson added 24 points and seven assists for the Magic, who won their first playoff game since 2002-03. Hedo Turkoglu chipped in 21 points and six assists, while Maurice Evans had 14 points in the victory.

Anthony Parker ended with 24 points and seven rebounds in the loss for the Raptors. Chris Bosh scored 21 points and Jason Kapono finished with 18 points off the bench for Toronto.

Toronto is 2-3 all-time in Game 2s in the postseason, while Orlando has dropped two straight Game 2s.

This is the first time the Magic and Raptors have met in the postseason. Both teams were eliminated in round one last year, as Orlando was swept by the Pistons, 4-0, and Toronto was knocked out by New Jersey, 4-2.

During the regular season, Orlando was 2-1 against Toronto. The Magic defeated the Raptors, 102-87, on March 4 at Amway Arena, while the teams split a pair of contests at Air Canada Centre.

The Magic were 25-16 at home this season, while Toronto was 16-25 on the road.
