The Toronto Raptors have won their first NBA title in franchise history, defeating the Golden State Warriors in six games. As a result, fans in Toronto are set to be treated with a championship parade.

According to a report from Blake Murphy of The Athletic, the city of Toronto will celebrate the Raptors with a parade on Monday, June 17. From Princes' Gates, the parade will make its way east on Lakeshore Boulevard before culminating in a celebratory rally at Nathan Phillips Square.

The Raptors claimed the 2018-19 NBA title as a result of a 114-110 victory over the Golden State Warriors in Game 6 of the NBA Finals. The Warriors were going for an illusive three-peat, but the Raptors, who signed Kawhi Leonard before the start of the season, had other plans. Now, after 24 years, fans in Toronto can celebrate their beloved basketball team.
