1) Games 3 & 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals

Reaching the Eastern Conference Finals was the pinnacle of the Raptors historical season, but tying the series with the Cavs at 2-2 was easily their biggest moment.

After blowouts in Game 1 and 2 where the Raptors were soundly beaten by the Cavs, there was little hope that Toronto could make this a series. But when the series shifted to Toronto, a new energy was injected into the Raptors. An energy that Toronto would use to send this series back to Cleveland all tied up at two games.

While the Cavs remained confident they would win the series, Games 3 and 4 were a nice reminder of just how good this Raptors team is. Plus, it provided Toronto fans with hope — and perhaps belief — that the Raptors could possibly pull off the unbelievable upset.

It was an amazing time to be a Raptors fan and, even though they would lose Games 5 and 6, those two home games were a phenomenal finale to an unforgettable season.
