The Toronto Raptors are on absolute fire right now. They have won 14 of 15, recently topped the league’s best Houston Rockets, and if it weren’t for a missed foul call on a Jonas Valanciunas dunk, would be undefeated since February 1st.
The schedule has been easy. During their eight game win-streak the Raptors have only faced two playoff teams. Meanwhile the other six games have been against the struggling Detroit Pistons and Charlotte Hornets, as well as, the tank-tastic trio of the Orlando Magic, Atlanta Hawks, and New York Knicks.
Still, the schedule has resulted in a little breathing room between them and the Celtics.
