In case you haven’t been on social media today, the Toronto Raptors have won their first NBA Championship in franchise history, beating the Golden State Warriors 114-110 in a thrilling Game 6 on Thursday.
It’s been a dream nearly 30 years in the making, and the Raptors can finally call themselves champions.
However,Ā Kawhi and the boys weren’t the only ones celebrating, Toronto fans were in full force last night and flooded the downtown core to be a part of history.
Fireworks were lit, the CN Tower turned gold, Raptors murals went up, and the city celebrated in full force.

For example, or cousins on the west coast also took to the streets, however, celebrations in Vancouver weren’t as extravagant as those in Toronto.

Whereas in Vancouver, celebrations were aĀ tadĀ bit quieter.
Hey Vancouver… Do you really want an NBA team? It doesn’t look like it. This is Robson Square after the Raptors win… Regina is more animated than this. Maybe they should get an NBA team? pic.twitter.com/FiepHZb36X
