The Toronto Raptors were the East’s top seed this season for the first time and set several franchise records, including victories. They have had little trouble beating the No. 8 Washington Wizards in the first two games, but the Raptors are 2-point underdogs for Friday’s game in D.C.

It’s the first time the Raptors have ever led a playoff series 2-0. In Tuesday’s 11-point victory, the Raptors set playoff franchise records for points in a quarter (44), half (76) and game (130). DeMar DeRozan tied a playoff career high with 37 points, and Kyle Lowry set a personal playoff mark of 12 assists. This after the Raptors set a team playoff record with 16 made three-pointers in Game 1
