The 2019-20 Toronto Raptors were always going to have to work together in their attempt to win it all again. Every basketball team has to do that, of course, but not every team comes by it as honestly as this version of the Raptors did; and not many teams can do it at such a high level, night in and night out, through a pandemic and suspended season and then in a bizarre Bubble setup with playoff basketball carrying on into mid-September. Through all that, it was always going to be Toronto’s teamwork that carried them.
The Raptors culture is exactly why 2020 was still a success
