The Raptors are aware of their upcoming schedule and their current place in the Eastern Conference standings, and realize that they need to turn things around right away.

"There's an urgency," Anthony Parker said Saturday night. "It's definitely an uphill battle at this point."

Toronto has just 29 games left in their regular season.

"We have to keep plugging away but it's definitely frustrating," added Parker. "We talk amongst each other, just trying to get some momentum. It seems like there's only been maybe one or two times this year when we've felt like we've had a little momentum.

"And we just haven't been able to get that this year, like the last two years that I've been here."
