The resulting 137-126 victory was the 15th in a row for the Raptors, extending their franchise record. They are 40-14, a franchise record through 54 games, and they have done this while six of their top seven rotation players have each missed at least 10 games. That they have compiled a better record so far than last season, despite having lost Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green in free agency, takes this into the realm of the unthinkable. “I think we think we can win, right?,” Nurse said. It was just two years ago that a transformed Raptors offence led to a franchise record in wins, and then the postseason arrived and LeBron James hoofed them right in the biscuits.
