TORONTO RAPTORS

Recap Rewind: The Raptors got Chris Bosh back this week, but still struggled to find wins. Even though they notched a win over the pathetic Miami Heat Wednesday night (final score 96-54), they dipped back down to the .500 mark with losses to Cleveland and Denver to close out the week.

Notable News: Bosh left the Raptors with a firm hold on the fifth seed in the playoffs, but by week's end, they had fallen to the seventh spot behind the surging Washington Wizards and 76ers. Bosh led the Raps in scoring in two of his three games since returning from injury, showing just how important his low-post presence was for this team's offense.

Fast Forward: The Raps might well dip below .500 this week, as they face Detroit, New York, and New Orleans. Luckily, a sub-500 record will still get you into the playoffs in the East these days.
