Last year, the Toronto Raptors began their season with a 4-2 record through the first month, the pair of losses coming to San Antonio and Golden State.
With wins in not only their three biggest games of October this year but seven of their first eight games, the Raptors are looking like the team to beat in the Eastern Conference.
Alongside the team success, the Raptors boast two of the East’s leading stars thus far in Kawhi Leonard and Kyle Lowry. With the former being recently added, the chemistry displayed by the team thus far is ahead of schedule.
