They already exceeded their win totals of the 2024-25 and 2023-24 seasons and are in a position to return to the playoffs. The Raptors have also learned how to win on the road. With 20 road wins already, they have won more away games than in any of the last three seasons and are on track to win more road games than in the last two seasons combined.
