2013–14 Toronto Raptors season
NBA professional basketball team season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2013–14 Toronto Raptors season is the 19th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). In the offseason, they traded Andrea Bargnani away to the New York Knicks for a 2016 first-round draft pick, a 2014 second-round draft pick, a 2017 second-round draft pick, Steve Novak, Quentin Richardson and Marcus Camby. The Raptors were not expected to make the 2014 playoffs however, with a weak Atlantic Division they found themselves as contenders for the Atlantic Division title despite an early losing record. On December 9, 2013, the Raptors traded Rudy Gay, Quincy Acy, and Aaron Gray to the Sacramento Kings for John Salmons, Greivis Vásquez, Patrick Patterson, and Chuck Hayes.[1] The Rudy Gay trade was marked as a turning point for the Raptors as they went on a 10–2 run from a 6–12 record maintaining their division lead and finishing the season with a 48–34 record, their best in franchise history at that time, qualifying for the playoffs for the first time since 2008. The record consisted of a 26–15 home record, their best since 2001, and a 22-19 road record, their best in franchise history at that time.[2] They also clinched the Atlantic Division title and the No. 3 seed for the first time since 2007. However, the Raptors were eliminated in the first round by the 6-seed Brooklyn Nets led by Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett in an intense seven game first round series.[3]
