The 2015–16 Toronto Raptors season was the 21st season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA).[1] This season marked the Raptors' first 50-win season since their inception in the league, a franchise-best, besting their record (49–33) of the previous season.[2] On May 1, 2016, the Raptors defeated the Indiana Pacers in Game 7 of the first round of the NBA playoffs. This was the second playoff victory in Raptors franchise history, and the first in a seven-game series. They returned to the semifinals for the first time since 2001. In the semifinals, the Raptors survived the third-seeded Miami Heat in a tough seven-game series, marking the first time the team advanced to the Eastern Conference finals. However, they lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers, the eventual NBA champions, in six games.
