The 2014-15 Toronto Raptors season marked a significant step forward for the franchise. Under the guidance of head coach Dwane Casey, the Raptors finished with a 49-33 record, securing the Atlantic Division title for the second consecutive year. This performance earned them the 4th seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Key players like Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan led the team, with Lowry earning his first NBA All-Star selection. The addition of Lou Williams, who won the NBA Sixth Man of the Year award, provided a valuable scoring punch off the bench. Despite their regular-season success, the Raptors struggled in the playoffs, getting swept 4-0 by the Washington Wizards in the first round. While the postseason exit was disappointing, the season was a building block for a team on the rise in the NBA landscape.
