Toronto Raptors

We The North. An entire nation united behind one team, culminating in the franchise's first championship in 2019 that brought the Larry O'Brien Trophy to Canada. Toronto basketball represents high IQ, unselfish play, defensive intensity, and a passionate fanbase that makes Scotiabank Arena one of the league's toughest venues. That championship DNA pulses through every possession as seven crisp passes find Sandro Mamukelashvili for a corner three in a dominant 128-100 blowout of Milwaukee, the Raptors' third straight victory. Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett each pour in 23 points, Immanuel Quickley adds 15, as Toronto posted its biggest margin of victory of the young season with the kind of beautiful team basketball that defines the franchise. The Raptors have surged since this statement win, proving Canada's team is a force in the Eastern Conference.
