The Toronto Raptors just finished their best month of the season, going 8-1. Interrupted by the All-Star break, they only had to play three games on the road and won them all. With a strong Eastern Conference, the Raptors needed to keep pace with their rivals in order to maintain their position as the second seed.
Despite their impressive play, the Raps did not manage to gain any ground on the first place, Milwaukee Bucks. Oddly, both teams lost only one game in the month of February. They both lost at home and they both lost to a team outside the playoff picture, the Orlando Magic.
