The Raptors are the 6th team in the 31 seasons of pbp data to get through their first 2 games without ever trailing. Last to do it was the '22-23 Pelicans. No team in those previous 30 seasons got through 3 games without ever trailing.

In the 31 seasons for which we have pbp data, the most dunks for a player in a single game is 11. Shaq did that 3 times. Walker Kessler (10 last night) is one of 8 players (including Shaq) with 10 dunks in a game. The last to do it was Daniel Gafford on 3/21/24.

Blazers-Suns is the 6th time in the 31 seasons of pbp data where a team led by 20+ before opponent scored... 2/21/04: Blazers 22, Celtics 0. 12/15/14: Cavs 21, Hornets 0. 4/11/16: Wizards 20, Nets 0. 3/7/20: Hornets 20, Rockets 0. 12/5/25: Knicks 23, Jazz 0. 10/21/26: Blazers 21, Suns 0.
