Key Game: Raptors vs. Cavaliers
Just a month ago, few would have expected to see the Raptors under the spotlight. Now, they sit firmly in second place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 12 wins and 5 losses, riding a seven-game winning streak. The Raptors, led by Brandon Ingram, find themselves in an ideal position against the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are right behind them in the standings with a record of 12-6. The Cavaliers, coached by Kenny Atkinson, are keen to remind the young Raptors of the conference hierarchy.
Despite a shaky start plagued by injuries, the Cavs have secured seven victories in their last ten games. A win tonight could elevate them to second place, just behind the formidable Motor City team, who currently lead with a stunning 14-2 record.
