It could be argued the Toronto Raptors are the best team in the East over the last decade, as they have secured 448 wins in the last 10 seasons, including their 17 this year. It’s a regular-season record amassed on the strength of continuity in philosophy about playing the game and acquiring, securing, and developing a good core of young talent.
Further, the heart and soul of the team, Kyle Lowry, has been a constant since before the winning began back in 2012.
