The Toronto Raptors celebrated their second success in a row in the North American basketball league NBA on Sunday (local time). The team led by the injured Jakob Pöltl had previously gone 15 games in a row without a win. 

The 130:122 victory over the Washington Wizards also meant a negative record for the Capitals, who have never before lost 64 games in a season. The Raptors' best man was Immanuel Quickley with 31 points and 13 assists.

Meanwhile, the Minnesota Timberwolves regained the lead in the West. Thanks to their 127-117 victory over the LA Lakers, they overtook the Denver Nuggets.
