After a convincing victory against the Pelicans, the Raptors have won their first most important game of their last 10. But Michael Grange explains why Friday's win carried extra weight.

Markelle Fultz's career has had many stops and starts because of injuries. The former No. 1 overall pick made his return to the NBA with the Raptors on a manic Monday, with the hope of better days ahead.

The Raptors were less focused, played with less effort and deserved what they got. To their credit, no one tried to excuse it.

Having Jakob Poeltl back and in good health is perfectly timed as the Raptors jockey for playoff position in the Eastern Conference. Michael Grange has the story.

Where the Raptors end up this season remains an open question. But after extending its win streak to three on Wednesday, Toronto is refreshingly taking charge of its destiny. Michael Grange has more on a professional night’s work for the Raptors in Chicago.

The Raptors beat the East-leading Pistons on Sunday to end their weekend with two wins over good teams.

Two days after failing to respond the right way in New Orleans, the Raptors showed a lot more fight. The result was a long-awaited victory over a team with a winning record.
