East crown a game away, but Raptors not ready to relax

While first conference title was a pre-season goal, Raptors are thinking beyond regular season.

Raptors guard DeMar DeRozan drained three three-pointers against Boston on Wednesday, more than he had made in his previous six games.

The Toronto Raptors can exhale but they cannot relax.

Now almost assured of the first first-place finish in franchise history, and home-court advantage through at least the Eastern Conference playoffs, there are aspects of the game to tidy up and other goals to perhaps reach.

One more victory gives them the most in a single season ever; if they run the table, they reach the elusive 60-win plateau, a significant accomplishment.
