NBA professional basketball team season
The 2013–14 Toronto Raptors season is the 19th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). In the offseason, they traded Andrea Bargnani away to the New York Knicks for Steve Novak , Quentin Richardson and Marcus Camby . The Raptors were not expected to make the 2014 playoffs however, with a weak Atlantic Division they found themselves as contenders for the Atlantic Division title despite an early losing record. On December 9, 2013 the Raptors traded Rudy Gay , Quincy Acy , and Aaron Gray to the Sacramento Kings for John Salmons , Greivis Vásquez , Patrick Patterson , and Chuck Hayes .[ 1] The Rudy Gay trade was marked as a turning point for the Raptors as they went on a 10-2 run from a 6-12 record maintaining their division lead and finishing the season with a 48-34 record qualifying for the playoffs for the first time since 2008.[ 2] Also clinched the Atlantic Division title for the first time since 2007. However, the Raptors were eliminated by the Brooklyn Nets led by Paul Pierce , Kevin Garnett , and Jason Terry in an intense seven game first round series.[ 3]
