"While the Oklahoma City Thunder tied the 2016 Golden State Warriors for the best start in NBA history at 24-1 on Wednesday night, five minutes earlier, the Raptors 905 also set a record for the best start in G League history. A 115-108 victory over the Delaware Blue Coats at the Paramount Fine Foods Centre improved the 905's record to 11-0, marking the most consecutive wins to start a season ever. The 905 are now three games away from going undefeated in the 14-game Tip-Off Tournament."
"It was versatile forward Jonathan Mogbo leading the way for the Sauga squad on Wednesday, however, as he stuffed the stat sheet. The 24-year-old finished tied for a game-high 20 points to go along with five rebounds, and five stocks while shooting 8-for-11 from the field. Rookie guard Chucky Hepburn also made his presence felt, as he has all year. The 22-year-old put up 17 points, 15 assists, and three steals, recording his fourth double-double this season."
"The former recorded 17 points and six rebounds, while the second-year forward Guerrier led all bench scorers, adding 17 points, five rebounds, two assists, and a block in this one. This was the most comfortable the 26-year-old has looked since his return from a turf toe injury. The 905 actually trailed by one entering the fourth quarter, but a big 27-2 run in the middle of the fourth, directed by Hepburn, gave the junior Raptors the lead till the final buzzer."
The Raptors 905 beat the Delaware Blue Coats 115-108 to improve to 11-0, the best start in G League history. The team sits three games from an undefeated run in the 14-game Tip-Off Tournament. The top eight Tip-Off teams advance to the NBA G League Winter Showcase and then enter a single-elimination bracket competing for a trophy and prize money. Jonathan Mogbo led with 20 points, five rebounds and five steals on 8-for-11 shooting. Rookie Chucky Hepburn recorded 17 points and 15 assists for his fourth double-double. A 27-2 fourth-quarter run, directed by Hepburn, sealed the win.
