"In case you missed it when the news first broke, the Toronto Raptors are heading to Vancouver to face the Denver Nuggets in an NBA Canada Series game on October 6. Sure, it's preseason play so there isn't really high-stakes on the line or anything like that per se, but as a recent graphic courtesy of the official Raptors page on X would suggest, Toronto has built quite the legacy in all their visits to Vancouver."
"Oct 6, 2010: Toronto Raptors defeat San Antonio Spurs in a blowout 129-78 win. Oct 4, 2014: Toronto Raptors defeat Sacramento Kings in close 99-94 victory. Oct 4, 2015: Toronto Raptors defeat Los Angeles Clippers in a blowout 93-73 win. Oct 1, 2016: Toronto Raptors defeat Golden State Warriors in a close 97-93 victory. Sep 29, 2018: Toronto Raptors defeat Portland Trail Blazers in 122-104 win. Oct 8, 2023: Toronto Raptors defeat Sacramento Kings in 112-99 win."
The Toronto Raptors hold a perfect 6-0 preseason record in Vancouver since 2010, with wins on Oct. 6, 2010; Oct. 4, 2014; Oct. 4, 2015; Oct. 1, 2016; Sep. 29, 2018; and Oct. 8, 2023. The wins range from dominant blowouts to narrow finishes, including a 129-78 victory and a 97-93 upset over Golden State. The Raptors will return to Vancouver to face the Denver Nuggets on October 6 as part of the NBA Canada Series. The undefeated Vancouver streak applies only to preseason visits; the franchise lost to the former Vancouver Grizzlies in 1997 and 1998. Remaining face-value tickets are reportedly limited to costly floor seats after a quick August 27 sellout.
