There will be all kinds of time to dwell on the disappointments of the season, to dissect and discuss what went wrong and what has to be done.
But in the raucous Raptors locker room last evening, the talk was all about the present, the exhilaration of four straight wins and seeing what had transpired at the Air Canada Centre, no one was blaming them for relishing the moment.

Raptors win fourth in a row
TORONTO — It's no coincidence that the Toronto Raptors are playing some of their best basketball of the season at a time when Jose Calderon is healthy for one of the first times this year.
Calderon scored 22 points and tied a franchise record with 19 assists as the Raptors survived a late scare to defeat the Chicago Bulls 134-129 in a thrilling overtime game Sunday afternoon at the Air Canada Centre.

Raps continue to roll
Chris Bosh was in the exact position, only this time he began his move to the basket on the other side of the paint.
Once again, Joakim Noah provided the opposition in a game-defining moment.
Bosh would score on this occasion at a time when many fans of the Raptors must be wondering why the team suddenly has discovered its passion and purpose.

Bosh's defence tested
Chris Bosh's defence has never come under scrutiny, which is understandable given how much he means to the Raptors.
Bosh isn't the greatest defender, but he isn't bad, either.
The Raptors like to switch on screens, forcing a big like Bosh to guard a small like Bulls guard Ben Gordon.

Triano finds more time for improving Ukic
Roko Ukic knows himself and knows his game, what it takes for him to be effective in a role he's learning on the fly.
Trouble is, the thing he seems to want - and need - the most has often been in short supply in Raptors games this season.
Time. More time than he usually gets, time to figure out what's going on in the game.
Time to make mistakes.
"With minutes, you get more comfortable," said the rookie point guard, who had one of his gems in an eight-point, 10-assist outing against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday night.
