Sunday night’s tweeting started with #jeanjacket trending in Toronto as the Raptors began their Game 7, life-as-we-know-it-ends-if-we-loose game against Indiana.
That was a comment on the attire of Raptors’ courtside superfan/ambassador Drake.
A couple of hours later, after the Raptors’ downed the Indiana Pacers 89-84, the trending hashtags in the Toronto area were “semis,” “derozans,” and “ujiri.”
Tweets were peaking at 1.5 thousand per minute at 10:30 after the Raptors’ win.
Those particularly popular hashtags were in reference to advancing to the semi-finals, DeMar DeRozan of the Raptors coming up big with 30 points and Raptors’ general manager Masai Ujiri.
