The Raptors are trying to take the necessary steps to salvage what appears to be a lost season.

Following their 122-103 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday, players gathered behind closed doors for yet another of those meetings.

The Raptors may not lead the NBA in wins, but they must be setting a record for team gatherings.

When they emerged, players said they would be more team-oriented down the stretch of the season.
