They’ll lose, eventually. It could happen anytime. The Toronto Raptors went into Monday night without their starting centre, and their only other centre, and their best bench scorer, which meant three of the top seven guys on the team. A different three this time. Last game they were different.
And they won again, 137-126 over the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Raptors have won 15 straight games, the longest streak in franchise history, the longest streak by any major Canadian team ever.
“I think these guys have proven enough that they can win,” said head coach Nick Nurse, his voice raw.
