Raptors forward Chris Bosh didn't come out and say that he wants Jay Triano back, but did admit that he has been impressed with the interim coach's performance.

"Given the situation that he was in, taking over a team as we were struggling and we didn't really have an identity, it's been a very tough job," Bosh said. "I don't know many guys who could have done the things that he has done.

"He's been challenging us. He got better at relating to the players: how to talk to certain guys, how to motivate us and everything. Most of the time he's not afraid to give us a piece of his mind."
