Toronto pulls off a feat they haven’t seen since 2019

ByNBAUSA



Are we seeing shades again in 2019? Year Kawhi Leonard led the Toronto Raptors to Canada’s first NBA championship suddenly returned to the conversation as the Raptors streak turns into something much bigger but a surprise at the beginning of the season. Brandon Ingram took complete control of the offense during a torrid 9-1 run that pushed the Raptors into second place in the East with a score of 10-5. The Raptors they were not in this position 15 games into the season since that title-winning year, and the echoes are getting louder with each win. Ingram is managing a new rise, a new identity and a surge in momentum no one expected after last season’s painful 30-52 finish.

Everything feels sharper. The Raptors have clean kits. The ball moves with intent. Cutters rush through the space as if they believe every read. I Brandon Ingram became the permanent anchorsplitting matchups with a mid-range rhythm and forcing defenses to bend in a way this Raptors roster couldn’t manage a year ago. Under the lights of the arena, you can feel the movement. Energy is easier. Belief is real again.

Raptors rush that brings bigger questions

This run also forces the front office to think bigger. Toronto wasn’t supposed to be here this fast. Not with a roster still finding its shape. Not after losing so much last year. Still, the Raptors’ streak continues to grow, and the team’s confidence grows. It puts pressure on any long-term decision that lies ahead. Are you adding depth? Do you do chemistry? Are you pushing the window forward with Ingram playing at this level?

The answers will not come easily. This sudden success never works. But this surge has already changed the way fans talk about the season. It has changed the way opponents scout the Raptors. And it changed what was possible at Scotiabank Arena.

Can the Raptors win another NBA championship?
