Toronto’s record improves to 45-11, holding firm on their Atlantic Division lead and maintaining the 2nd seed in the Eastern Conference. The Raptors are winners of 21 of their last 23 games.

We have a conflict of interest. :lol:

As for the Spurs, I believe we have 2 games remaining to play them. As I don’t recall facing them yet this season.

Perhaps mpharris can confirm.
