No matter how you phrase it, the Toronto Raptors are still the NBA champions. They will be all the way up until June 2020, when the NBA Finals will draw to a close. Last year, the Toronto Raptors finished with the second-best record in the NBA, winning 59 games, before going on to win 4-2 against the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals.
They’ll get the chance to defend their crown this season, taking on all comers as they’ll scratch, claw, and do everything they can to make sure they hold on to the Larry O’Brien trophy as long as possible.
