8. The 11-game winning streak

The Raptors tied their franchise-record 11-game win streak this past season, all to be snapped by a controversial late non-call against DeRozan in the final 30 seconds. The Oklahoma City Thunder came out with the win against the streaking Raptors, 132-125.

In those 11 games, however, we have five of the top ten memorable moments of the season! They weren’t just winning games, but providing highlight reel after highlight reel, and unbelievable moments to always be remembered for years to come.

The streak ended on March 18, 2018. The month of February held the best scoring margins for a single month in franchise history. The Raptors had to win their final game of February against the Orlando Magic. Up until the final matchup, the Raptors had outscored opponents by an average of 15.5 points per game for that month, the best mark by a team in February.

The unfortunate part was the Raptors were only able to beat the Magic, but not by the amount necessary to set the scoring margin record. Still, they were able to finish with a February scoring margin second all-time to only to the Phoenix Suns, who still have the record at 15.3 points per game in 1990.

The 11-game win streak may have ended on a bit of a sour note, but one game in particular during the streak was one of their biggest wins of the season and our next memorable moment.
