They are approaching an anti-record. Toronto Raptors have lost 13 games in a row

The NBA team Toronto Raptors suffered a defeat on April 1st in a regular season match against Philadelphia, with a score of 120:135.

This marks the thirteenth consecutive loss for the Canadian squad since March 6th. It constitutes the franchise's second-worst streak in history, surpassed only by the 17 consecutive losses in 1997. Hence, the team is edging closer to its ignominious record. The team's last victory dates back to March 4th, when the Toronto Raptors triumphed over Charlotte, with a score of 111:106.

The upcoming four matches for Toronto are against the Lakers, Minnesota, Milwaukee, and Washington. Therefore, the potential establishment of a new record low could theoretically occur on April 10th against Indiana.

By the way, the NBA club Boston Celtics has already secured the top spot in the Eastern Conference prematurely. This marks the Celtics' third time achieving such a feat since 1988 (in 2008 and 2017). Between 1980 and 1988, Boston claimed the top spot in the conference eight times in nine seasons.
