Toronto Raptors Reach 50 Wins for 1st Time in 21 Seasons of Existence

With Wednesday's 105-97 victory over the Atlanta Hawks, the 2015-16 Toronto Raptors became the first squad in the franchise's 21-year existence to reach 50 wins in a single regular season, per ESPN Stats & Info.

No longer the only active franchise without a 50-win season, the Raptors have all but clinched the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, and they only trail the Cleveland Cavaliers by two games for the top spot.

Coming off first-round exits in the past two seasons, the Raptors appear to have positioned themselves far better this time around to reach the second round of the playoffs for just the second time in franchise history.
