"I would not call it lack of urgency. It's not necessarily that we did not have urgency. We allowed things not going our way to affect us."
"The Raptors fell in the standings, allowing the Hawks to continue their long climb through the standings. They are now 0.5 games behind the Hawks."
"Falling in the standings could have serious implications for the Raptors' first-round chances. If they finish in fifth place, they would have to face the Knicks."
The Raptors concluded a five-game road trip with three losses, including a close game against the Nuggets and two disappointing performances against the Suns and Clippers. Head coach Darko Rajaković addressed concerns about the team's urgency, attributing the losses to external factors affecting their spirit. The Raptors fell to sixth place in a tight playoff race, now trailing the Hawks and only slightly ahead of play-in teams. Their current standing could jeopardize their chances in the first round of the playoffs, particularly if they face the Knicks.
