The Toronto Raptors' franchise-best winning streak is now a Canadian record.
Pascal Siakam scored 34 points and the Raptors won their 15th consecutive game, beating the revamped Minnesota Timberwolves 137-126.
The win streak topped the Calgary Stampeders, who won 14 straight in 2016, for the longest single-season win streak from a major Canadian-based professional team (NBA, NHL, MLB and CFL).
Kyle Lowry, who was back after missing a game with whiplash, had 27 points and 11 assists for the Raptors (40-14), while OG Anunoby had 16 of his 25 points in the third quarter, and Fred VanVleet chipped in with 16.
Karl-Anthony Towns topped the Timberwolves (16-36) with 23 points, while D'Angelo Russell had 22 in his Minnesota debut.
