These are verging on history-making times for the Toronto Raptors.
A group put together with a handful of new starters and unfamiliar bits is off to one of the best starts in franchise history after pulling away to dump the Minnesota Timberwolves 112-105 at the Scotiabank Arena on Wednesday night.
It was Toronto’s fifth straight win to open the NBA season, equalling the franchise record established in 2015-16. It was also their fourth win at home to start a season; the team record in that category is five and can be matched on Friday night.
