It was in 2016 that the Toronto Raptors opened up the "War Room" in their new training and development facility. It featured nine screens dedicated to data visualizations driven by IBM Watson. 2016 was also the year the Raptors added players Fred VanVleet and Pascal Siakam. Players that were key to winning the NBA title last season and are currently at work in trying to win another one.  With success like that, it's no surprise that the practice of analytics has caught on across the Raptors' parent organization, Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, or MLSE for short. Here to discuss how Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment is using technology to get a competitive edge on the court (and the ice, and the field) is Sumit Arora, Senior Director, Strategy & Analytics Digital Labs, MLSE.
