Raptors keep piling up wins with next-man-up mentality Globe_Sports

Toronto Raptors guard Terence Davis moves past Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jordan McLaughlin as the Raptors won their 15th straight game on Feb. 10, 2020.Nick Nurse’s ability to roll with the roster punches goes back to his D League days, when he rarely knew from one game to the next which players he’d have in uniform.

The Raptors beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 137-126 on Monday for their 15th consecutive win. That topped the Calgary Stampeders, who won 14 straight in 2016, for the longest single-season win streak from a major Canadian-based professional team . “Day by day, man,” Kyle Lowry said after a recent win. “Day by day, game by game, hour by hour, minute by minute. We don’t think about no streaks, we just think about the next game.”

While the Raptors have been effective at making in-game adjustments, Nurse chalks up much of the win streak to hustle.
