Toronto is 9th in scoring and 5th in points allowed, while third in field goal shooting and 11th in three-point shooting.

These numbers have helped Toronto to win nine consecutive games and take over first place in the Atlantic division, and it is currently second, 1.5 games behind Detroit in the Eastern Conference.
