How do you make a Wednesday matchup against the 4-13 New York Knicks meaningful? How about this fun stat. If the Toronto Raptors win tonight, they’ll officially take over the longest home winning streak against divisional opponents in NBA history.
It’s a staggering thing, that the Raptors have already won 32 straight games against the Sixers, Knicks, Nets, and Celtics at Scotiabank Arena dating back to 2015. The last time they lost at home was, funny enough, against these very Knicks — a team that was taking a break from dysfunction to look solid around the core of Carmelo Anthony and Kristaps Porzingis.
