TORONTO – Toronto Raptors all-star forward Scottie Barnes stopped short of calling the team’s season a success.
He said the Raptors learned a lot about themselves and had a “solid” season at the team’s end-of-season availability Monday.
The Raptors made a 16-win jump in the regular season, finishing 46-36 to secure the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference.
Toronto was without starting point guard Immanuel Quickley for the series, while all-star Brandon Ingram left Game 5 with an injury and missed the final two games.
