The Toronto Raptors’ season has come to an end. They were able to claw back from a 2-0 series deficit to force a Game 7 and gave themselves a chance to win it all, up until the end, but instead, the Boston Celtics will advance to the Eastern Conference Finals to play against the Miami Heat after ending the Raptors’ attempt at a title defense.

Ranging from a great regular season effort to a playoff push with no shortage of great clutch play, the Raptors made it respectable, and there’s still a lot of love being shown their way.
