The 2019–20 Toronto Raptors season was the 25th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Raptors entered the season for the first time in franchise history as the defending NBA champions, following their NBA Finals win over the previous two-time NBA champion Golden State Warriors in six games. The Raptors had the second best team defensive rating in the NBA.[1]
On March 5, 2020, the Raptors became the second team to clinch a playoff spot by defeating the Golden State Warriors.[2]
The season was suspended by the league officials following the games of March 11[3] after it was reported that Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19.[4]
The Raptors faced the Brooklyn Nets in the first round of the playoffs where they swept the Nets in four games.[5] However, they would go on to lose to the Boston Celtics in seven games in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.[6]
As of 2021, this season marked the last time the Raptors made the playoffs.
