Victorious Raptors expected to return to Toronto today after becoming NBA champs

The Toronto Raptors are expected to return home this evening after their electrifying NBA championship win south of the border.

Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, which owns the franchise, says the team is expected to arrive at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport around 9 p.m. eastern time.

The team became the first franchise outside the U.S. to win the NBA title by beating the Golden State Warriors in Oakland, Calif., on Thursday.

They were expected to spend Friday night partying in Las Vegas before flying home Saturday.

A victory parade and rally for the team is set to take place in Toronto on Monday.
