The seemingly season-long quest for a top-8 seed is reaching its (exciting?) conclusion as the Raptors have pulled even with the Atlanta Hawks.
Toronto continued their charge toward the postseason with a wire-to-wire victory over the visiting Washington Wizards. Toronto was led by O.G. Anunoby, who finished with 29 points, 8 rebounds, 4 triples, 3 blocks, 1 steal and was a game-high +29. With an almost similar line, Fred VanVleet contributed 28 points, 7 assists, 5 triples, 3 steals, 1 block and was an equally impressive +28.
The Raptors welcomed back Scottie Barnes and Precious Achiuwa after each had missed the previous two games.
