The Toronto Raptors currently sit second in the Eastern Conference with an 11-5 record. They trail only their streaking Atlantic-division mate Boston Celtics (16-2) in the standings, though this seeding isn’t particularly surprising when we remember LeBron and Co. are still figuring their crap out in Cleveland.
Still, it’s a nice place to be for a Toronto team that had a lot of questions coming into the year, especially given the better brand of basketball they’re (mostly) playing these days, on both sides of the ball. Tonight they head out on the road to take on a different Atlantic division rival, the New York Knicks.
