TORONTO—As excitement builds across Canada for a game that could win the Toronto Raptors their first NBA Championship tonight, officials are asking fans to be on their best behaviour as Toronto prepares for crowds to flood the city’s downtown core.

Crowd control is top of mind for city staff, Toronto Police and the Toronto Transit Commission, which are working in tandem with Raptors parent company Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment.
