The Toronto Raptors have made history.
According to a recent report, the team has won 30 out of 42 games for this past season, making it the fastest time in franchise history to win as many games.
The @Raptors have won 30 of their first 42 games this season, the fewest number of games needed to reach 30 wins in team history. The previous mark of 43 games was set last season.

Perhaps it shouldn't be too surprising that the Raptors have been so successful this season. After all, they've been handling nearly every team they've ever come across since they took to the courts.
With the NBA season currently at the midpoint, the Indiana Pacers realized — the hard way — that the Raptors were the team to beat. On Sunday, Toronto defeated Indiana at 121-105, during the second face-off at the ScotiaBank Arena.
Pacers point guard Victor Oladipo told the IndyStar that the reason the Raptors were able to beat his team was that they were able to “take them out of their element.”
“They just take us out of our element. They got up 33 3s tonight. We got up 17. They made most of theirs. We didn’t make enough of ours. Seemed like we got cold. Just a tough loss. Seems like we were exhausted out there.”
The Raptors, for their part, have their players to credit for their most recent win, including Norman Powell, who scored a season-high 23 points in the game.
