The Toronto Raptors held on for a 140-134 win at home in Scotiabank Arena, closing out their home schedule, finishing with a league-best 38-2 record protecting their home court.

Victor Wembanyama, Collin Sexton and Amen Thompson carried the collective torch with Lu Dort, Derrick White and Dennis Smith Jr. out injured.

Bol Bol and Christian Wood played with a “next man up” mentality as the Raptors depth continues to pay dividends.

Toronto’s record improves to a franchise record 64-17, with 1 game left to play, as the Raps seek to secure the 65-win benchmark and ride into the playoffs with momentum.

It’s been an to impressive season for Toronto, winning the Atlantic Division crown for the 2nd straight season and locked into the 2nd seed in the Eastern Conference.

I'm kinda a psycho...still the #1 overall seed not settled...and 70 wins are still in play (that would give me 70+ wins in 3 of the last 4 years...)

Yo Cap remember when I was saying we should draft him last year?

He been playing really good defense all year.

Then he dropped this.

Take the 8th seed, then 4 more por favor.

Imagine the reward for the 2 seed being a first round matchup with an active Smash :nonono:
