The Toronto Raptors get off to a good start and defend home court in Game 3. The Raptors avoid going down 3-0 against the Bucks with a gritty and gutsy win. Nick Nurse made some big adjustments on the defensive assignments but no personnel changes which worked out significantly. This game could have went either way with both teams having chances to win the game. A double overtime classic in the Eastern Conference Finals. Tune in for the full breakdown. Let's Go Raptors! We The North! Must-win in Game 4. #raptors #bucks #nbaplayoffs
The Toronto Raptors faced off against the Detroit Pistons for the last and final time. Raptors have lost the last two games against the Pistons and add this loss to that list. Toronto did not show respect or urgency to play better against a team who lost miserably a couple nights ago. Dwane Casey and his Pistons picked up the aggressiveness and relentless attitude. Nick Nurse and staff had no urgency and could not find a second unit lineup that worked. Fred VanVleet did return but Kyle remains out indefinitely. This was just one of those nights. Got to bounce back. Let's Go Raptors! #raptors #pistons #nba
Kawhi Leonard hits the game-winning bank shot and leads the Raptors to the epic win over the Brooklyn Nets. Raptors and Nets went back and forth throughout the game. Marc Gasol had his own highlight package in the fourth quarter to regain the lead for the Raptors. Tons of highlights in this one with both teams unable to stop each other for a majority of the game. Tune in for the full breakdown. #raptors #nets #kawhi #gamewinner #raptorsrapup
The Toronto Raptors' stars did not bring their 'A' game as they were totally outplayed by the Bucks' stars. Giannis who struggled with foul trouble all game long had a huge impact whenever he was on the floor. Middleton, who was recently named All-Star for the 1st time, carried the load while Giannis sat on the bench. Both teams proved why they are the top tier teams of the East, but Siakam was the main reason for keeping the game close. The candidate for Most Improved Player put up 28 points and was by far the best player on the court which featured two possible MVP candidates. Raptors failed to capitalize on a chance to win home-court in the Eastern Conference FInals if there was a tiebreaker between the two. Raptors need to clean up their defense and improve their offensive efficiency. Tune in to find out the full game breakdown. #raptors #bucks #raptorsrapup
The Toronto Raptors had to storm back in the fourth quarter to win this game against Luka Doncic's Mavericks. Luka was unstoppable as he messed around for a triple-double. But Raptors' zone defense and pace were too much for the Mavericks to handle. Kawhi led the team with 33 points and made two clutch plays down the stretch to seal the deal.

The Toronto Raptors come up short against the Indiana Pacers. But the Pacers lost a major part of their team as well. Victor Oladipo had a season-ending injury tonight and it was painful to watch as his knee was bent awkwardly trying to contest Pascal Siakam. He left the game on a stretcher and will be out for the rest of the season. Prayers up for Oladipo. Raptors did a good job of coming back into this game in the second half, but were one possession short of tying this game. Danny Green missed the game-tying three and Indiana iced the game with free throws. Lowry and Ibaka had strong games, but Thaddeus Young was too much for the Raptors. Thad had 23 pts and 15 rebs and great defense on Siakam. Got to bounce back. Onto the next one, let's go Raptors!! #raptorsrapup #raptors #pacers
The Toronto Raptors beat up on the lowly Memphis Grizzlies. Raptors blowout the Grizzlies in the third quarter. Raptors outscore the Grizzlies 45-14 with Danny Green doing most of his damage in the quarter. Green nailed 8 threes in the game and received a standing ovation from the home crowd. One of Danny Green's best games of the season. Amazing game and good win for the Toronto Raptors. Onto the next one, let's go Raptors!

The Toronto Raptors bounce back in a big way against the best team in the NBA, the Milwaukee Bucks. The Raptors had four players with over 20+ points and another career-high for Siakam with 30 points. Kawhi chipped in with 30 points of his own as the Raptors took care of business on the road. Giannis with another beast game of 44 points and 18 rebounds, but it was not enough. The starters carried the heavy load as the bench was poor all game long. Nick Nurse played the right rotations and the Raptors win a big one to stay 2nd in the Eastern Conference for now. Let's Go Raptors! Who's next?!?
