"Over December, the 905 did not lose (excluding the Winter Showcase final, which doesn't count towards the standings), posting a perfect 12-0 record and leading the 905 to their first-ever Winter Showcase tournament. Currently, the 905 (19-1) remain atop the G in net rating (15.9) and defensive rating (101.8), while sitting fourth in offensive rating (117.7). The Mississauga squad also sits top three in field goal percentage (50.1 per cent), 3-point percentage (37.1 per cent), and assists per game (27.5)."
"The 905 became the first team ever to go undefeated (14-0) in Tip-Off Tournament play, setting an NBA G League record for most consecutive wins to start a season in the process. The previous record was 10 straight games by the Memphis Hustle during the 2019-20 season. It's been a complete turnaround for Jones in year two, as the head coach already has more total wins (19) than he had all last season, as the team finished with an 18-32 record."
Drew Jones III earned NBA G League Coach of the Month for December after Raptors 905 posted a perfect 12-0 December (excluding the Winter Showcase final). The 905 hold a 19-1 record and lead the league in net rating (15.9) and defensive rating (101.8), while ranking fourth in offensive rating (117.7). The team ranks top three in field goal percentage (50.1%), 3-point percentage (37.1%), and assists per game (27.5). Raptors 905 went 14-0 in Tip-Off Tournament play, setting a league record for consecutive wins to start a season. Jones has already surpassed his total wins from the prior 18-32 season, after a previous year that featured a 5-11 Tip-Off start, an 11-4 regular-season start, and a late collapse marked by injuries, call-ups, and a franchise-record 10-game losing streak.
