The Toronto Raptors are officially playoff-bound. Toronto has essentially been in the playoffs for a long time. The Milwaukee Bucks dismantling of the Charlotte Hornets certified it. Ironic that the team the Toronto is trying the hardest to catch right now is the same team which clinched the Raptors official bid.
The Raptors clinched the postseason for the sixth straight season, technically tying them for the second longest in the NBA. The teams they’re tied with, Houston and Golden State will pass them later this season.
The team they’re all trailing? The San Antonio Spurs. With 21 straight postseason births and the possibility to increase it to 22 later this season, the Spurs are playing a different game than everyone else.
