The Toronto Raptors reached another key milestone against the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night.
It’s not nearly as important as winning the 2019 NBA Finals, but the Raptors clinched their seventh consecutive playoff berth with a 121-113 win over the Warriors.
Norman Powell submitted one of the best games of his career, recording a career-high 37 points, with a 23-point explosion in the first half. Powell added three rebounds, three steals and was a calming presence for the Raptors as the Warriors never made the game comfortable.
You wouldn’t be at fault for thinking it was a rerun of Game 6 of the 2019 Finals as Kyle Lowry came out of the gate on fire once again, setting the tone for the Raptors with 10 points and five assists in the first quarter.
