The Toronto Raptors clinched the NBA's second-best record Tuesday night by virtue of the Golden State Warriors' 119-79 beatdown at the hands of the Utah Jazz.
While the Houston Rockets nailed down top spot overall almost two weeks ago, the Raptors' clinching of second means Toronto would have home court in a theoretical NBA Finals matchup against the Warriors or any other Western Conference team below them.
The Raptors, who have already broken their single-season franchise-record win total, go for their 60th victory against the Miami Heat - a possible first-round playoff foe - in Wednesday's regular-season finale.
