The Florida team celebrated their third win from the last four games against the Toronto Raptors with 103:97, but is still at the bottom of the Eastern Conference with 16 wins after 64 games.
The 20-year-old Berliner Wagner recorded eleven points, seven rebounds and five assists. At Toronto, Isaac Bonga made a brief appearance, the guard collected an assist.
The Houston Rockets lost 101-116 to the Denver Nuggets without Dennis Schroeder, who still had an ankle injury.
